Bob Marley was a Jamaican singer, songwriter, and musician who became an international icon for reggae music. Born Robert Nesta Marley on February 6, 1945, in Nine Mile, Jamaica, he rose to fame with his distinctive voice and profound lyrics that often addressed themes of social justice, love, and spirituality. Marley formed the band The Wailers in 1963, and their music combined elements of reggae, ska, and rocksteady.

Marley’s influence extended beyond music; he was a cultural ambassador for reggae and Rastafarianism, promoting peace, unity, and African identity. His most famous songs include "No Woman, No Cry," "One Love," "Buffalo Soldier," "Redemption Song," and "Three Little Birds." Marley's 1977 album "Exodus" is often considered one of the greatest albums of all time.

He was diagnosed with melanoma in 1977, which eventually led to his death on May 11, 1981, at the age of 36. Despite his early death, Marley's legacy endures, and he remains a symbol of resistance and hope. His music continues to inspire millions around the world.
