Bob Marley, born Robert Nesta Marley on February 6, 1945 in Nine Miles, Jamaica, and died on May 11, 1981 in Miami, is a singer-songwriter, singer, and musician from Jamaica. Considered one of the most important representatives of reggae, he popularized this musical genre worldwide and contributed to its adoption by other musical genres such as rock, hip-hop, or heavy metal. Bob Marley has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide, making him the most popular Jamaican artist of all time. He is ranked fourth by Rolling Stone in terms of reggae artists of all time. In 1980, he was named "Artist of the Year" by Time magazine. In 1999, he was ranked eighth by the BBC in terms of all-time artists, and in 2002, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2006, he was ranked eleventh by VH1 in terms of all-time artists. Bob Marley grew up in poverty in the disadvantaged neighborhoods of Kingston. He dropped out of school at a young age to work and help his family. At the age of 12, he began playing the guitar and composing his own songs. In 1962, he founded the ska and rocksteady group "The Wailers" with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. The group had some success in Jamaica, but was unable to break through internationally. In 1974, Bob Marley and The Wailers signed with Island Records and recorded the album "Catch a Fire", which was a commercial success. The following year, they recorded "Natty Dread", which was even more popular. These two albums contain the songs "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Get Up, Stand Up" and "Exodus", which all became reggae classics. Bob Marley and The Wailers continued to record and tour until Marley's death in 1981. After his death, the group disbanded and the members pursued solo careers. Bob Marley is now considered one of the greatest reggae artists of all time, and his influence is still strongly felt in Jamaican music and around the world.
