R.I.P. Bob Marley

Bob Marley was a Jamaican singer and songwriter who was born in Nine Mile, Jamaica on February 6th, 1945. Credited with popularizing reggae music worldwide, his songs often conveyed messages of peace, love, and social justice.

Some of his most famous singles include “No Woman, No Cry”, “Redemption Song”, “Buffalo Soldier”, “Three Little Birds”, and today’s song choice (to name a few).

In 1994, Marley was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
