“Music means a lot to me throughout my life. I know that’s the same for many others,” Charles, 76, said in a video announcement of the project on Friday, March 7.
“It has excellent ability to drown the memories of happiness from the deepest depressions of our memories, comforting us during times of sadness and taking us far away. But perhaps most importantly, it can raise our spirit to a certain extent, and when it brings us together to celebrate, it is even more important. In other words, it brings us joy,” he added.
King revealed his playlist in Apple Music 1 radio special titled The King’s Music Roomaired on Monday. He started the show by playing Bob Marley and Wailers, noting that he had met Marley.
“Bob Marley was supposed to be 80 this year,” Charles said. “I remember meeting him in an event when he came to London to perform when he was young… Of course, the wonderful, infectious energy he had, his deep sincerity and deep concern for the community.”
