Robert Nesta Marley - The Natural Mystic


6 February 1945 - 11 May 1981


He left behind the most remarkable body of recorded work. When you need to refer to a certain situation or crisis, there will always be a Bob Marley song that will relate to it...


He is an artist who has transcended all categories, classes, and creeds through a combination of innate modesty and profound wisdom.


This first superstar from the tiny Third World, Bob Marley, was one of the most charismatic and challenging performers of our time.


He was an avid soccer fan, played soccer whenever he had the time, Bob hurt a big toe while playing soccer. The wound had become cancerous and was belatedly treated in Miami, unfortunately it continued to fester. By 1980 the cancer, in its most fatal form, had begun to spread through his body.


He died in a Miami hospital on Monday May 11, 1981. Bob Marley was 36-years-old. His legend, however, has conquered the years.
