In 1968 the late reggae icon BOB MARLEY recorded a song named SELASSIE IS
THE CHAPEL. An ode to Haile Selassie, the Ethiopian emperor, from 1930 to 1974,
and sacred figure in the Rastafari movement, of which Marley was a committed
member

The song, a tender and wholehearted ballad, is now officially released via Marley‘s original label Jad Records on 7″ (only 2000 copies) and streams on all well-know platforms. More info here.

The lyrics were written by Mortimer Planno, who played a fundamental part in Marley’s involvement in the Rastafarian religion and who met Haile Selassie when he visited Jamaica in 1966.
