The Greatest Reggae Artist of All Times

While many may not agree with my selection, this reggae artist have certainly contributed to
the reggae fraternity in a major way and should get the respect he deserve. The music that
this artist produced will never die, as the impact made are so great that we are still touched by
his lyrics and sounds.
Bob Marley was born Robert Nesta Marley on Feb. 6,1945 in Saint Ann, Jamaica. His father, Norval Sinclairr1945.Marley, was a white Englishman and his mother, Cedelia Booker, was a black Jamaican. Bob Marley died of cancer in Miami, FL on May 11, 1981. Marley had 12 children, four by his wife Rita, and was a devout Rastafarian.  
         

Bob Marley's father died when he was 10 years old, and
his mother moved with him to  Kingston's Trenchtown
neighborhood after his death. As a young teen, he
befriended Bunny Wailer, and they learned to play music together. At 14, Marley dropped out of school to learn the welding trade, and spent his spare
time jamming with Bunny Wailer and ska musician Joe Higgs
