Robert Nesta Marley, better known as Bob Marley, was a singer, guitarist & songwriter from the ghettos of Jamaica. He is most likely the best known reggae musician of all times, famous for popularising the genre outside of Jamaica. Much of his work deals with the struggles of the impoverished and/or powerless. He was the husband of Rita Anderson Marley. She had 4 of his 9 children, including David Ziggy Marley & Stephen Marley who continue their fathers musical legacy in their band The Melody Makers. Bob Marley was born in Jamaica to a black mother, Cedella Booker & a white father, Norval Marley,, on February 6, 1945, making him a mixed race person. Marley started in ska & gravitated towards reggae as the music evolved, playing, teaching & singing for a long period in the 1970s & 1980s ; Marley is perhaps best-known for work with his reggae group The Wailers, the backbone of which were two other celebrated reggae musicians, Bunny Livingston & Peter Tosh. Livingstone & Tosh then left the group & became successful solo artists. Posters Of Bob Marley
