Robert "Bob" Nesta Marley is the greatest ever reggae
singer. He spread reggae and his message of love and unity to
a worldwide audience. His live performances were legendary for
their passion and energy. Marley's album 'Exodus' was voted by
'Time' magazine as the best of the 20th Century. The BBC
declared his song 'One Love' as the song of the millennium.
Marley was born in 1945 in a small village in Jamaica to a white
father and black mother. The racist bullying he received as a child had an impact on
his songwriting. He left school at the age of 14 to make music. He met members of
his future band The Wailers at a jam session. It took several years before they
became famous.
The Wailers' first album 'Catch a Fire' was released in 1973 and sold well. Another
album followed a year later which included the song 'I Shot The Sheriff'. Eric
Clapton's cover of the song in 1974 brought Marley a lot of global attention. In 1975,
Marley released his breakthrough song 'No Woman, No Cry', still regarded as a
classic today.
Marley left Jamaica for England in 1976 to record his 'Exodus' and 'Kaya' albums.
He toured the world and performed to campaign against apartheid in South Africa
and to celebrate Zimbabwe's independence. He died of cancer in 1981, aged 36. He
was given a state funeral in Jamaica according to the Rastafari tradition. He
continues to be an important influence on today's music.
