|  Reggae's most transcendent and iconic figure, Bob Marley was the first    |
|  Jamaican artist to achieve international superstardom, in the process     |
|  introducing the music of his native island nation to the far-flung        |
|  corners of the globe. Marley's music gave voice to the day-to-day         |
|  struggles of the Jamaican experience, vividly capturing not only the      |
|  plight of the country's impoverished and oppressed but also the devout    |
|  spirituality that remains their source of strength. His songs of faith,   |
|  devotion, and revolution created a legacy that continues to live on not   |
|  only through the music of his extended family but also through            |
|  generations of artists the world over touched by his genius.              |
|                                                                            |
|  Robert Nesta Marley was born February 6, 1945, in rural St. Ann's         |
|  Parish, Jamaica; the son of a middle-aged white father and teenaged       |
|  black mother, he left home at 14 to pursue a music career in Kingston,    |
|  becoming a pupil of local singer and devout Rastafarian Joe Higgs. He     |
|  cut his first single, "Judge Not," in 1962 for Leslie Kong, severing      |
|  ties with the famed producer soon after over a monetary dispute. In 1963  |
|  Marley teamed with fellow singers Peter Tosh, Bunny Livingston, Junior    |
|  Braithwaite, Beverly Kelso, and Cherry Smith to form the vocal group the  |
|  Teenagers; later rechristened the Wailing Rudeboys and later simply the   |
|  Wailers, they signed on with producer Coxsone Dodd's legendary Studio     |
|  One and recorded their debut, "I'm Still Waiting." When Braithwaite and   |
|  Smith exited the Wailers, Marley assumed lead vocal duties, and in early  |
|  1964 the group's follow-up, "Simmer Down," topped the Jamaican charts. A  |
|  series of singles including "Let Him Go (Rude Boy Get Gail)," "Dancing    |
|  Shoes," "Jerk in Time," "Who Feels It Knows It," and "What Am I to Do"    |
|  followed, and in all, the Wailers recorded some 70 tracks for Dodd        |
|  before disbanding in 1966. On February 10 of that year, Marley married    |
|  Rita Anderson, a singer in the group the Soulettes; she later enjoyed     |
|  success as a member of the vocal trio the I-Threes. Marley then spent     |
|  the better part of the year working in a factory in Newark, DE, the home  |
|  of his mother since 1963.                                                 |
|                                                                            |
|  Upon returning to Jamaica that October, Marley re-formed the Wailers      |
|  with Livingston and Tosh, releasing "Bend Down Low" on their own short-   |
|  lived Wail 'N' Soul 'M label; at this time all three members began        |
|  devoting themselves to the teachings of the Rastafari faith, a            |
|  cornerstone of Marley's life and music until his death. Beginning in      |
|  1968, the Wailers recorded a wealth of new material for producer Danny    |
|  Sims before teaming the following year with producer Lee "Scratch"        |
|  Perry; backed by Perry's house band, the Upsetters, the trio cut a        |
|  number of classics, including "My Cup," "Duppy Conqueror," "Soul          |
|  Almighty," and "Small Axe," which fused powerful vocals, ingenious        |
|  rhythms, and visionary production to lay the groundwork for much of the   |
|  Jamaican music in their wake. Upsetters bassist Aston "Family Man"        |
|  Barrett and his drummer brother Carlton soon joined the Wailers full-     |
|  time, and in 1971 the group founded another independent label, Tuff       |
|  Gong, releasing a handful of singles before signing to Chris Blackwell's  |
|  Island Records a year later.                                              |
|                                                                            |
|  1973's Catch a Fire, the Wailers' Island debut, was the first of their    |
|  albums released outside of Jamaica, and immediately earned worldwide      |
|  acclaim; the follow-up, Burnin', launched the track "I Shot the           |
|  Sheriff," a Top Ten hit for Eric Clapton in 1974. With the Wailers        |
|  poised for stardom, however, both Livingston and Tosh quit the group to   |
|  pursue solo careers; Marley then brought in the I-Threes, which in        |
|  addition to Rita Marley consisted of singers Marcia Griffiths and Judy    |
|  Mowatt. The new lineup proceeded to tour the world prior to releasing     |
|  their 1975 breakthrough album Natty Dread, scoring their first U.K. Top   |
|  40 hit with the classic "No Woman, No Cry." Sellout shows at the London   |
|  Lyceum, where Marley played to racially mixed crowds, yielded the superb  |
|  Live! later that year, and with the success of 1976's Rastaman            |
|  Vibration, which hit the Top Ten in the U.S., it became increasingly      |
|  clear that his music had carved its own niche within the pop mainstream.  |
|                                                                            |
|  As great as Marley's fame had grown outside of Jamaica, at home he was    |
|  viewed as a figure of almost mystical proportions, a poet and prophet     |
|  whose every word had the nation's collective ear. His power was           |
|  perceived as a threat in some quarters, and on December 3, 1976, he was   |
|  wounded in an assassination attempt; the ordeal forced Marley to leave    |
|  Jamaica for over a year. 1977's Exodus was his biggest record to date,    |
|  generating the hits "Jamming," "Waiting in Vain," and "One Love/People    |
|  Get Ready"; Kaya was another smash, highlighted by the gorgeous "Is This  |
|  Love" and "Satisfy My Soul." Another classic live date, Babylon by Bus,   |
|  preceded the release of 1979's Survival. 1980 loomed as Marley's biggest  |
|  year yet, kicked off by a concert in the newly liberated Zimbabwe; a      |
|  tour of the U.S. was announced, but while jogging in New York's Central   |
|  Park he collapsed, and it was discovered he suffered from cancer that     |
|  had spread to his brain, lungs, and liver. Uprising was the final album   |
|  released in Marley's lifetime - he died May 11, 1981, at age 36.          |
|                                                                            |
|  Posthumous efforts including 1983's Confrontation and the best-selling    |
|  1984 retrospective Legend kept Marley's music alive, and his renown       |
|  continued growing in the years following his death - even decades after   |
|  the fact, he remains synonymous with reggae's worldwide popularity. In    |
|  the wake of her husband's passing, Rita Marley scored a solo hit with     |
|  "One Draw," but despite the subsequent success of the singles "Many Are   |
|  Called" and "Play Play," by the mid-'80s she largely withdrew from        |
|  performing to focus on raising her children. Oldest son David, better     |
|  known as Ziggy, went on to score considerable pop success as the leader   |
|  of the Melody Makers, a Marley family group comprised of siblings         |
|  Cedella, Stephen, and Sharon; their 1988 single "Tomorrow People" was a   |
|  Top 40 U.S. hit, a feat even Bob himself never accomplished. Three other  |
|  Marley children - Damian, Julian, and Ky-Mani - pursued careers in music  |
|  as well.                                                                  |
|                                                                            |
