Bob Marley was born on February 6, 1945, in Nine Miles, Jamaica, and passed away on May 11, 1981, in Miami, Florida. He was a key figure in spreading Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement worldwide. Marley's parents were Norval Sinclair Marley, a white rural overseer, and Cedella Malcolm, a Black Jamaican woman. In Trench Town, Marley formed a vocal group with friends Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, which eventually became known as the Wailers.

Marley was deeply involved in social and political issues in Jamaica, participating in rallies and free concerts. He was loved by many for standing up for his beliefs. He had several children from different relationships, including two from his wife, Rita Anderson.

In 1977, Marley discovered a type of melanoma under his toe, which indicated already existing cancer. Despite his illness, he continued to perform until his final show in Pittsburgh. The cancer spread throughout his body, leading to his death in 1981. Since his passing, Marley's influence has grown, and his music has achieved significant international acclaim, with his album Legend becoming the best-selling reggae album ever.
