Bob Marley was a Jamaican singer-songwriter who is considered one of the most influential musicians of all time. His music, which blended elements of reggae, ska, and rock, spoke to the struggles of the oppressed and marginalized and inspired a generation of activists around the world.
Bob Marley lived his life with impact and purpose, and we can feel the difference that he made each time we start playing his one-of-a-kind, feel-good tunes. Marley began his career in a band called the Wailers in the early 60s. In 1981, however, Marley’s life was cut short when he died of cancer at the age of 36.
