Bob Marley Biography and Top 10 songs

Bob Marley is one of my favorite artists for a long time. I probably own more Bob Marley CD of any other band or artist, with the exception of Wu-Tang. My friends mum D, is partly responsible for my Bob heard over the years because I was small I the song Jammin 'and used other similar services used for the 45 single I had to play all the time and I had only the exterior. I would say that I have a Bob CD in my stereo for 90% of the time (which can have 3 to time). Bobjust good music but also the messages that the lyrics were for peace and freedom.

When Bob was still a child he lived in the slums of Trench Town in Kingston and had a reputation of "self defense", which earned him the "Tuff Gong", a title that he and the Wailers are used to create his own world recordLabel in 1970.

Wailers released their first album (Catch A Fire) in 1973 to great success after their signing to JAD Records in London, England. Concrete Jungle is the most successful song of the album.

Two days before Bob Marley was around Smile Jamaica Bob, Rita and their manager were injured startingduring a shootout at the home of Bob. The attack was politically motivated so many people felt the tour was a report supporting the rally.

Bob Marley Posters and a Little Reggae Music

Bob Marley's full name is Robert Nesta Marley. He was born on Feb 6, 1945. If he was still alive today, he would be over 60 years old. Kind of hard to imagine isn't it. Would the college kids still be jazzed about hanging pictures of some old reggae rocker on their dorm walls if Bob was still alive. A gray haired Rastafarian dancing and rocking on the stage like a man many years his junior. Of course, if Mick Jagger can do it (minus the dreadlocks) then why not Bob Marley. While I haven't done the research, I would bet there are a lot more Marley posters, then Rolling Stones posters decorating the dorm walls of this generation.

You have to wonder, if music was still the path he would have chosen to follow after all these years. Bob that is. We already know which way the stones have gone. I like to think that he would have. While he was a man of many beliefs and causes, it was his music that seem to run central to most of it. It was the must that spread his message of love, equality, and peace to his generation, and to the generations that have followed.

Would his message have been so widespread without his tragic early departure, or would he have just went down in the annals music / reggae folk lore. He was incredibly influential and widespread during his time. Simply because his message was so universal. While many pop culture celebrities become more famous after their demise, I don't believe that was Bob Marley's legacy. While it may have given some legs and stamina to his music and art, it never would have happened in the first place if he wasn't one of the legendary music elite.

There is a bit of martyr spiced mixed in with his life, as part of the reason for his early departure had to do with his religious beliefs. Rastafarian beliefs don't allow for amputation of body parts, even if they are cancerous and deadly as Bob's was. His foot developed cancer from a soccer related injury years earlier. While many martyrs die at the hands of the oppressive persecutors, this was not the case here. Still, given how often he sang about persecutions, and being such a man of faith, it can be easy to make that mistake here.

Thankfully, today we still have Bob Marley posters to hang on our walls... Bob Marley music to listen to... and Bob Marley words to lull us to a more peaceful existence.
