Brief history of the phenomenal Bob Marley

Full name Robert Nesta Marley born 6 February 1945 Died 11 May 1981
He was a Jamaican Singer, a committed Rastafari and a songwriter who gained International recognition and became an icon both internationally and culturally. He blends reggae, ska and rocksteady in his style of music. In 1977 the release of the album Exodus established his worldwide reputation and ranked him one of the world's best selling artists of all time, with sales of more than 75 million records. One of his greatest hits album Legend released in 1984, three years after Marley died was still the best-selling reggae album of all time.
P.S I still listen to his album Legend

Here are some of his quotes
"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."

"love the life you live. live the life you love"

"The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for."

Highlights of the process
