Bob Marley, born February 6 1945, and deceased in May 11th 1981, is a worldwide idol. Bob was born in Jamaïca, by a black jamaïcan 18 year old mother, and a white english man in his fifties that Bob did not get to know to well. As a teen he decided to leave the misery of the plain lands of Jamaïca to move to Trentchtown, Kingston.
Once in Trentchtown, Bob Marley (Robert Nesta Marley), comes across a great singer, Joe Higgs, and starts taking singing lessons with him. Soon enough, in 1962, he writes his first song called ''Judge Not'' for the producer Leslie Kong. His music gets listenned to over the radio and people just aren`t too into the Ska (fast paste jamaïcan music) that he is coming out with, but Bob holds on tight and keeps his head up high, praying to the lord his music will not fail.
In 1963, Bob forms with Junior Braithwaite, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, a group they will call The Wailers. In 1964, all together they obtain a contract with Studio One, but all and all, The Wailers just cannot manage to sell enough copies of Bob Marley & The Wailers, and Bob decides to quit and head back to Jamaïca with his son Ziggy, his daughter Cedella, and wife Rita.
THE SUCCESS:
In 1973, Bob Marley finally starts touring in The U.S. One of his singers, Bunny Wailer, quits and is soon replaced by Joe Higgs, which was Bob's early singing teacher! A little while later his second backup singer and friend, Peter Tosh, also decides to quit, leaving Bob on his own.
July 18th 1975, Bob, along with his new americain group, host a concert where his first big success if recorded live, No Woman No Cry!
In 1976, Bob's first CD comes out as Rastaman Vibration, and is a great americain success. People love his music, and the spiritual sense of his verse.
Bob kept producing great hits from 1975 to 1981, and people could not get enough of how much they were touched by his words, and how much of his heart, he poured into his lyrics. On the other hand, his more lively music was just as loved!
Bob had 12 kids before he died.
1- Sharon Marley
2- Cedella Marley
3- Ziggy Marley
4- Stephen Marley
5- Robert Marley
6- Rohan Marley
7- Karen Marley
8- Stephanie Marley
9- Julian Marley
10- Ky-Mani Marley
11- Damien Marley
12- Makeda Marley
Makeda Marley, was born after Bob's sad and unfortunate death. (He did net get to meet his last baby daughter)
Bob died in Miami, Florida, May 11th, 1981.
He died of a rare toe cancer, and playing soccer only made it worse, yet it was his favourite sport. His second passion besides music.
