As we informed you yesterday, it’s Bob Marley Week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. In acknowledgment of the 30th anniversary of Bob’s passing on May 11, 1981, every night this week the show’s musical guests—which also include Chris Cornell, Jennifer Hudson, Lauryn Hill, Jakob Dylan, Lenny Kravitz and maybe Keith Richards—will pay their respects to the man by covering his classic tunes.
