 I wrote the words and melody to "The Beauty of God's Plan" while on-tour in Paris .  My co-writer was the steele guitar player (Claude Samard). He was strumming some chords and he heard the song as a Country /Western.  I told him I heard it as a Reggae song. Upon returning to my homeland shores, I produced it as a Reggae song and put it into the hands of Bob Marley himself.  I told Bob I had written it for his wife to sing.  He liked the song and I was so thrilled.  I am honored to have Rita Marley's beautiful voice singing my composition. It's like a dream come-true!
