(4/23/03, 7 a.m. ET) -- Bob Marley fans can look forward to new music. Marley's family recently discovered they have cassette recordings of Marley songs that were never released. Marley's son Ziggy Marley said the tunes are being worked on and should be out by next year.

Ziggy said, "Next year, we are probably gonna have some new material from Daddy for the world. So we're working on that."

Bob Marley, whose hits included "One Love/People Get Ready," and "Who Shot The Sheriff," died of cancer in 1981.

Ziggy Marley successfully followed in his father's footsteps, and just released his first solo album, Dragonfly.
