The song "Turn Your Lights Down Low" released in 1977 was written by Bob for someone special in his life. He created this song for his lover Cindy Breakspeare who had currently won Miss World 1976. The relationship they had was very known, the two always in newspapers. This made Bobs wife very jealous and furious. Even though she usually accepted the fact that he had lovers this one bothered her extremely due to them being so public on the relationship. Bobs relationship with Cindy lead to them having a child named Damian Marley.

Faithful?
Even though Bob was married that didn't mean he only stayed with one women. His wife was Rita, with Rita he still went around sleeping with other women. His wife accepted that she knew how Bob was. He believed he was entitled to have "Many Queens", queens is what he would call his women. Rita was one of his background singers she did not let this affect there music. Bob would at times have women is his room he wanted out and he would have to call Rita to take them out of his room.

Duppy Conqueror
In this song he says and speaks of being a duppy conqueror. The duppy is what they believe an evil spirit. What he and his band did in Jamaica before they had ever performed in front of an audience was perform in a cemetery, they thought that if they could perform in front of the duppy they couldn't fear performing in front of anyone else. Therefore, they were duppy conqueror's.
