POP/ROCK - Dec. 10, 1991
Marley Estate Settled: The Jamaica Supreme Court on Monday ordered the trustees of the late reggae star Bob Marley to sell his assets to his widow, children and a small record company for $11.5 million. Justice Clarence Walker ordered the trustees, Mutual Security Merchant Bank, to sell the song catalogue and other assets to Island Logic Ltd., a small firm run by Chris Blackwell, a friend of the singer. Marley, who died of cancer in 1981, did not leave a will for religious reasons. The other bidder for Marley’s estate was Japanese-owned MCA Inc.
