Bob Marley Biography

Return to Home Page
Robert Nesta Marley, born on February 6, 1945, defined reggae music as we know it today. His father, Captain Norval Marley, was a 50-year-old white quartermaster of the British West Indian Regiment. His mother, Cedella Booker, was an eighteen-year-old black girl from Jamaica. Although Bob didn't see much of his father, he provided regular financial support. Bob grew up in the rural surroundings of St. Ann, Jamaica. Inspired by artists such as Ray Charles, Fats Domino, and Curtis Mayfield, he quit school and moved to Kingston when he was barely a teen. Bob spent all of his free time perfecting his vocal abilities with his good friend Bunny.

In 1962, Bob auditioned for Leslie Kong, a local music entrepreneur. Kong was so impressed with his vocal talents, she signed Bob on the spot. His first recording was "Judge Not" followed by "Terror" and "One Cup of Coffee". Although these songs received little to no airplay, it didn't discourage him. He linked up with his good friends Bunny and Peter McIntosh to form "The Wailing Wailers". The group was soon introduced to a record producer in Kingston and released their first single, "Simmer Down," during November of 1963. By January 1964, it was number one on Jamaican charts, and stayed there for nearly two months. Over the next few years, The Wailing Wailers recorded some thirty songs that established them in the music business. However, three of the back-up singers quit, and the group was falling apart fast. Bob mother had moved to Delaware and saved money for him to live with her. Before he left, Bob met and fell in love with Rita Anderson. They married on February 10, 1966 and moved to Delaware together.
By October 1966 Bob and Rita had moved back to Jamaica so he could further pursue his dream in music. In 1967, his music started reflecting his beliefs in Rastafarianism. Not long after, he re-joined with Bunny and Peter to form "The Wailers". The Wailers teamed up with Lee Perry to produce such songs as "Soul Rebel," "400 Years," and "Small Axe," all of which are considered classics and are said to have defined the future direction of reggae

Associated Press je objavio slijedeću vijest:
"Supruga reggae legende Boba Marleya izjavila je 12.siječnja kako planira kosti svog supruga s Jamajke prebaciti u njegovo duhovno vječno odmaralište, Etiopiju.
Datum iskapanja i ponovnog pokapanja još nije određen ali bit će sigurno nakon veljače, kada se u Etiopiju planira mjesec dana dugo slavlje povodom Bobovg 60.rođendana.
I crkva i vlast podržavaju ovaj projekt, kaže Rity Marley.
Izjavila je: "Radimo na tome da njegove posmrtne ostatke prebacimo u Etiopiju. To je bio dio Bobove vlastite misije".
Rita je otkrila kako će Marley biti pokopan u Shashemeneu, 155 milja daleko od Addis Ababa-e gdje je živjelo nekoliko stotina Rastafarianaca od kada su dobili zemlju od posljednjeg Etiopskog vladara Hailea Selassiea.
Na tisuće ljudi s Jamajke na Hailea gleda kao na živućeg Boga i kao na vođu rastafarianskog religijskog pokreta čiji je Bob bio odani pristaša.
Rita je dalje izjavila: "Njegov cijeli život bio je posvećen Africi. Nije se radilo o Jamajci. Kako se možeš odreći kontinenta zbog jednog otoka. On ima pravo na to da mu posmrtni ostaci budu tamo gdje je htio. To je bila njegova misija".
U suradnji s Afričkom Unijom i U.N. dječjom agencijom, Rita je organizirala proslave u Etiopiji, uključujući veliki koncert na Bobov rođendan 6.veljače. Koncert će se održati u Addis Ababa-i, a nastupit će the Marley family, I-Threes, Baaba Maal, Angelique Kidjo, Harry Belefonte i Yousou N'dor"

No, ljudi iz Undercover-a su se potrudili i nazvali stožer fondacije Bob Marley, a njihov glasnogovornik im je rekao da Rita nikad nije izjavila što je navedeno u AP-u te da nema planova prebacivanja Bobovih posmrtnih ostataka. No, istina je kako je Rita povodom proslave suprugovog rođendana ujedinila Afriku jer će se razne proslave održati i u ostatku svijeta.
Bob je rođen 6.travnja 1945. godine, a preminuo je 11.svibnja 1981. u 36. godini života.
