Bob Marley was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician who became an icon of reggae music and a symbol of Jamaican culture. He was born Robert Nesta Marley on February 6, 1945, in Nine Mile, Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica. Marley was the son of a white father, Norval Sinclair Marley, and a black mother, Cedella Booker.

Growing up in poverty, Marley was forced to leave school at a young age and began working odd jobs to help support his family. In his free time, he began to focus on music, inspired by the sounds of the local ska and rock steady music scenes.

In the early 1960s, Marley joined a vocal trio called The Wailers, which consisted of himself, Bunny Livingston (later Bunny Wailer), and Peter Tosh. The group started to gain popularity in Jamaica with their mix of ska, rock steady, and soul music.

In 1972, The Wailers signed with Island Records and released their breakthrough album, "Catch a Fire." The album was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to bring reggae music to a wider audience outside of Jamaica.

Over the next decade, Marley continued to record music and tour extensively, becoming one of the most influential musicians of his generation. His music often focused on social and political issues, and he was known for his activism and commitment to promoting peace and unity.

In 1976, Marley was the target of an assassination attempt, which he narrowly survived. He went into hiding in London, where he recorded his album "Exodus," which became one of the most successful and beloved albums of his career.

Marley continued to tour and record music throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, despite ongoing health issues. He was diagnosed with cancer in 1977, but he continued to perform until his health deteriorated to the point where he was unable to continue.

Bob Marley passed away on May 11, 1981, at the age of 36. Despite his relatively short career, Marley's music and message continue to inspire and influence generations of musicians and fans around the world.

Some of his most famous songs include "No Woman, No Cry," "Get Up, Stand Up," "One Love," "Redemption Song," and "Stir It Up." He has sold over 75 million records worldwide and is widely regarded as one of the greatest musicians of all time. In 1994, he was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2001, he was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
