After Marley\u2019s parents separated at the age of 12 he moved to Trench town, Jamaica with his mother where he became close with singer, songwriter, and percussionist\u00a0Neville O\u2019Riley \u201cBunny Wailer\u201d Livingston. Marley\u2019s mother and Bunny\u2019s father Thadeus Livingston had a daughter together which allowed the two young boys to live together. In Stepney Primary and Junior High School, Marley and Bunny began making music. They made a guitar from bamboo, sardine cans, and electrical wire while singer Joe Higgs taught them about harmonies.\u00a0\u00a0Their musical explorations furthered to include rhythm and blues as they listening to the radio from New Orleans. They began to combine the sounds of R&amp;B with their own musical style of Caribbean mento and calypso to produce a new music genre \u00a0known as<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>\u00a0ska<\/strong><\/span>.

He converted to Rastafarianism and began the \u201cmature stage\u201d of his musical career. He created his own record label named Wail N\u2019 Soul alongside Bunny and Peter Tosh. He abandoned the rude-boy ska theme and transitioned to a new type of music known as\u00a0<b><u>rock steady<\/u><\/b>\u00a0to align with his Rastafarian beliefs. Similar to ska, rock steady is still influenced by R&amp;B however it also explores elements of jazz, African and Latin American drums with a slower, offbeat rhythm. The Wailers released an album titled The Best of the Wailers in August 1971 featuring ten songs, five in which were written by Bob Marley. In which included songs, \u201cSoul Captives\u201d, and \u201cDo it Twice\u201d.\u00a0<\/p><p>The album The Best of the Wailers paved the way for many more albums. During the early 1970s the band recorded an album each year and toured in Europe and America.\u00a0\u00a0In 1971, The Wailers recorded Catch a Fire which is noted to be the first successful Jamaican reggae album to be recorded in terms of budget and promotion. 1975 marked another stage of musical growth for Marley. After founding Wailers members Peter Tosh and Bunny left the band, the band was renamed Bob Marley and the Wailers. Marley began to sing songs of a political tone. He debuted his international breakthrough album, No Woman No Cry featuring live material of politics.\u00a0\u00a0Followed by his breakthrough album in the United States, Rastaman Vibration in 1976 which included songs such as War and Rat Race written by his wife Rita Marley. While Rastman Vibration reached the Top 50 of the Billboard Soul Charts in America. Marley\u2019s political lyrics began to fuel the turmoil in Jamaica as a result the 1976 elections which caused gang war and division amongst in his hometown of Trench Town, Kingston.

During this time Marley recorded hit singles \u201cWaiting in Vain\u201d, \u201cExodus\u201d, \u201cJamming\u201d and \u201cOne Love\u201d. Bob Marley later returned to Jamaica to perform at the political concert titled One Love Peace Concert in efforts to ease political tension. Marley\u2019s performance marked a significant time in history because it resulted in Jamaica\u2019s two opposing political parties joining together to shake hands.\u00a0 Marley continued his efforts to unify through debuting his 1979 album, Survival. This album featured songs such as \u201cAfrica Unite\u201d and \u201cZimbabwe\u201d which brought awareness to the struggle of Africans and promoted Pan-African solidarity and Black survival. Marley\u2019s final album, Uprising released in 1980 was more religious than political. Nevertheless, it included two of his many popular songs, \u201cRedemption Song\u201d and \u201cForever Loving Jah\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6aca841 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6aca841\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-33c699d\" data-id=\"33c699d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52145c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"52145c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Personal Views and Influence on His Musical Style<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d4b665 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d4b665\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Marley often used his platform as a musician to reflect his personal views on love, the injustices of racism and colonialism, Rastafarianism, as well as political and social freedom. These ideas all reflected Marley\u2019s experiences as a young mixed race boy in a poverty-stricken yet prideful Black community in Jamaica. Growing up, Marley was often bullied and nicknamed \u201cWhite Boy\u201d nevertheless those horrifying experiences allowed him to develop a freethinking mindset. Marley stated \u201cI\u2019m not on the White man\u2019s side, or the Black Man\u2019s side. I\u2019m on God\u2019s side\u201d. Marley\u2019s strong mindset gave him the ability to defend himself in Jamaica\u2019s Trenchtown ghetto, birthing another nickname \u201cTuff Gong\u201d. As Marley began writing his own songs he kept these experiences in mind. Aside from his vocal abilities and his charismatic performance attitude it was his lyrics that left a major impact of his listeners.<\/p><p>\u00a0\u00a0 Marley fully embraced Rastafari, it is difficult to reference his music without referencing the Rastafarian Movement. Rastafarianism is classified both as a religious and social movement. It developed in the 1930s among impoverished and socially disenfranchised Afro-Jamaican communities in Jamaica. Central figures of the movement are Haile Salassie I, Jesus, Mene Asfaw and Marcus Garvey. Rastafarians believe Africa is the \u201cPromise land of Zion\u201d. They also adhere to a strict vegetarian diet \u201c<strong><u>ital diet<\/u><\/strong>\u201d. Some Rastafarians grow locks in which they refrain from cutting. This practice is based on Samson of the bible.\u00a0 &#8220;All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the Lord, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.&#8221;(Numbers 6: 5 KJV). Marley\u2019s religious revival influenced many other Jamaican artists to write songs about exile and return to Africa.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b8c71e6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b8c71e6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1361854\" data-id=\"1361854\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0aa58c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a0aa58c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Legacy: Impact on the World\n<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76b99b0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"76b99b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On May 11, 1981 at the age of 36, Bob Marley died from cancer that began in his toe and spread throughout his body into his brain. A month after his death he was awarded Jamaica\u2019s Order of Merit and in 1994 Marley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In December 1999 in Oracabessa Bay, Jamaica artists including Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Busta Rhymes, Eve, Tracy Chapman, Jimmy Cliff and many more were featured in an All-Star Tribute concert and celebration of Bob Marley\u2019s music legacy. In 2008, a statue of Marley was inaugurated in Banatski Sokolac, Serbia. In 2013, The Grammy Awards presented another tribute to Bob Marley, featuring artists such as Rihanna, Bruno Mars and his song Ziggy and Damian \u201cJr. Gong\u201d Marley. The Marley family of eleven continues to live on their father\u2019s musical legacy.\u00a0It is evident that Bob Marley has left a major impact throughout the world. His music continues to promote awareness of political and social issues faced by the African and African American community. It was Marley\u2019s personal values including Pan-Africanism and Rastafarianism which inspired his music.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-aa17bb1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"aa17bb1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e542809\" data-id=\"e542809\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7f29157 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7f29157\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Bibliography<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7465751 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7465751\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cBob Marley Official Site &#8211; Life &amp; Legacy &#8211; History.\u201d\u00a0<i>Bob Marley<\/i>, www.bobmarley.com\/history\/.<\/p><p>\u201cBob Marley | Artists.\u201d\u00a0<i>Island Records<\/i>, www.islandrecords.co.uk\/island-artists\/bob-marley\/.<\/p><p>\u201cBob Marley.\u201d\u00a0<i>NPR<\/i>, NPR, www.npr.org\/artists\/15283623\/bob-marley.<\/p><p>\u201cBob Marley, singer\/Songwriter\/Activist.\u201d <em>Bob Marley, singer\/Songwriter\/Activist | African American Registry<\/em>, www.aaregistry.org\/historic_events\/view\/bob-marley-singersongwriteractivist.<\/p><p>Mcginty, Doris E., Malika Lee Whitney, Dermott Hussey, and Stephen Davis. &#8220;Bob Marley: Reggae King of the World.&#8221; <em>The Black Perspective in Music<\/em> 16, no. 2 (1988)<\/p><p>Cashmore, Ellis. &#8220;Popular Culture Icons: Bob Marley (1945-1981).&#8221; <em>The Blackwell Encyclopedia of Sociology<\/em>, 2007<\/p><p>Hagerman, Brent. &#8220;Everywhere Is War: Peace and Violence in the Life and Songs of Bob Marley.&#8221; <em>Journal of Religion and Popular Culture<\/em> 24, no. 3 (2012): 380-92<\/p><p>Farred, Grant, and Gregory Stephens. &#8220;On Racial Frontiers: The New Culture of Frederick Douglass, Ralph Ellison, and Bob Marley.&#8221; <em>Contemporary Sociology<\/em> 30, no. 6 (2001): 572<\/p><p>Ray, Carina. &#8220;Marley, Bob (1945\u20131981).&#8221; <em>Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice<\/em>.<\/p><p>Sheridan, Maureen. <em>Bob Marley: the stories behind the songs<\/em>.
