Bob Marley Birthday: Born to his parents as Robert Nesta Marley, the prophet and king of Reggae music was born in 1945 so far. We came just to let him know that Bob Marley. The genius he was would have been 66 years today.
Bob Marley's music has transcended time, crossed gender and peacefully integrated shopping. Born to a flannel father and black mother of Bob Marley has said this about his personal wealth.
As my father was from Jamaica, and the line, so I am, I grew up hearing to the voices of Bob Marley, The Wailers, Peter Tosh, Sugar Minott, Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, ardent Spear and many Other lesser known but still great artists Reggae.
Many mornings when my mother was cooking breakfast, she would be singing the songs of Bob Marley. I still remember from my heart the song of my mother "No Woman No Cry." As a young boy, I could not know why the song was peached with much cacoethes for it. Yrs tardier later my parents split up; I realized what the song meant to her. And what that means it still today.
While I was in the euphony job, I had the delight of attending the home of Bob Marley and meet his family. The aura and the presence of man was felt immediately and be at home was a spiritual experience. His music is only part of what he did.
Numerous people don't actualize it, but it was in reality stub cancer that acquired Marley us. Bob Marley died May 11, 1981 here in Miami. He was just thirty-six yrs.
Today, some 30 years later, his music lives. Legend album was released in 1984, three yrs later his decease, and became a staple in millions of catalogs and music lovers is undoubtedly the best-selling reggae album. It went platinum in more than 10 times and has sold over 20 million copies worldwide.
Unitary of the songs on this record album was "Redemption Song". I acknowledge I am not solitary in my love for this song and I'm sure he has great meaning for many people. A personal song sung by a dying man who remains a gift to us all. Amazing!
