Robert Nesta Marley BORN: February 6, 1945, St. Ann, Jamaica DIED: May 11, 1981, Miami, FL In the year 1944, Captain Norval Marley married a young Jamaican girl named Cedalla Booker. On February 6, 1945 at two thirty in the morning their son, Robert Nesta Marley was born in his grandfather's house. Soon after Bob was born his father left his mother. He did however give financial support and occasionally returned to see his son. It was now the late fifties, jobs were scarce in Jamaica, so Bob followed his mother from their home in St. Ann to Trenchtown (West Kingston) to seek employment in the big city. Trenchtown got it's name because it was built over a ditch which drained the sewage of old Kingston. In Trenchtown Bob spent a lot of his time with his good frie More...

When Johnny went to record in Jamacia, Bob was "hired" to sweep up the recording studio because Bob just wanted to be "there" and to show Johnny his songs he wrote and his "Wailers" group. "Stir It Up"(with Bob and his group on backup) was "Huge"in England and in the "Mellow" AC Chart in America, "Guava Jelly"(even recorded by Barbra Steisand) and songs he co-wrote with Johnny, got Bob his recording contract and out of Jamacia to England, where The Rock steady/Ska sound was really hot, and the likes of Eric Clapton and others started looking to Bob's songs for them to play. Anyone who really appreciates and enjoys Bob Marley's songs and loving and peaceful influence we all still can feel and pass on, should really know Johnny Nash and his great sound too. BC marley, the world's greatest | Reviewer: johnpaul ------ About artist/band Bob Marley let's be truthful people,marley was and still is the undisputed king of reggae.no one can take dat away frm him.his contributns,legacies and charisma will always be remembered.he spoke 4 d poor,4 justice,n 4 d entire world.RESPECT 2 MARLEY. NIGERIA Remember the Legend | Reviewer: steph ------ About artist/band Bob Marley Bob Marley wasn't about smoking pot and being a stoner. Yeah sure he smoked pot but what he stood for was peace, love and music. It bothers me when people talk about Bob Marley as a stoner cause that's not what he should be known for. I don't think Bob Marley would like to be known for that either. He should be known for as someone who had a deep love for music and was full of peace and love. I mean thats what he was all about. That's why he performed at all those peace concerts. So please respect what he did and speak of him as a legend with a view of loving others and helping others..don't like him because he's a pot head, have more meaning behind why you like him, i love Bob Marley and yeah I listen to his music when I get high but I listen to his music all the time..he's my hero for the things he did and what he supported. But I loved reading this biography and learning more about Bob Marley and the Wailers, awesome job to whoever wrote it, I appreciate the time it must have taken you to write it. But again to everyone remember Bob Marley as a legend who lives on and wanted nothing more that peace and love. He looked at everyone as equal, which is something I try to do everyday, "Don't judge the life I live. I know I'm not perfect and I don't strive to be, but before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean first" ...."Love the life you live, live the life you love" Peace I love him | Reviewer: Kalegrace ------ About artist/band Bob Marley Bob Marley is a musical divinity and he will always be remembered. He changed the world with his music and still does. He is a great person for they way he was when he was here. His music speaks truth with a great beat! :) Love You Nesta! Words from Beyond | Reviewer: Charles Hury ------ About the song Three little birds performed by Bob Marley My youngest son recently died at 35 of a brain tumor. This is the only song he insisted be played at his funeral and it was. I repeat those words over and over in my head as not only his last words to me and his mother as we left the funeral but as his continuing words to us from beyond. It is a great,great comfort. One Love.:] | Reviewer: Kayley ------ About artist/band Bob Marley Bob Marley's words inspired all of us and moved our hearts! Anyone thats looking down on him for smoking weed needs to grow up and listen to his music. It was his life so why does it matter so much to you?! A man can quit smoking,but it takes a true man to face cancer.

So, whoever believes that most beautifull and powerfull thing in human life, the relligion, is happening in that simple fashion, has a big problem with IQ stats, or the easy way to say - is stupid. to all the weed smokers | Reviewer: april ------ About artist/band Bob Marley alot of people think bob marley is someone to just listen to an smoke weed.. not everyone does this. his music was amazing. but also good to smoke to.. so ive heard. he inspires people to be peacful and have love... he had love for weed an his music.. why cant he just have both and a rememberence.. im sure it'd be fine with him. keep remembering him!!!

In one of my classes im doing a 5-10 research on anyone we wanted to so i choose Bob Marley. His music gives me the strength to go on every day and to be happy.....i don't what i would do with out his music.....he is so awesome...... also i just got a hoodie with him on it, he looks so hot one love | Reviewer: Shellee ------ About artist/band Bob Marley Ok so Bob Marley is about peace and freedom, but katiewindow isnt being very peaceful with her message...anyways...I listen to Bob Marley everyday he calms me down because thats the type of music he has, calming peaceful music, thats the type of person he was. And to me its sad that he died of cancer, but I do respect his beliefs and decision. Hes a strong man for that. And everybody else who said that people smoke weed half of them dont even listen to him or thinks of him as just a pothead. thats not true, i smoke weed and i understand what message Bob Marley was trying to send to people, and i like him for his music. My favorite song of his is redemption song.
