Robert "Bob" Nesta Marley OM (February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981) was a Jamaican musician, singer-
songwriter and Rastafarian. He was the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for the ska, rocksteady
and reggae bands: The Wailers (1964 – 1974) and Bob Marley & the Wailers (1974 – 1981). Marley
remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited for helping
spread Jamaican music to the worldwide audience.

Marley's best known hits include "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Exodus", "Could You Be
Loved", "Stir It Up", "Jamming", "Redemption Song", "One Love" and, together with The Wailers,
"Three Little Birds", as well as the posthumous releases "Buffalo Soldier" and "Iron Lion Zion". The
compilation album, Legend, released in 1984, three years after his death, is the best-selling reggae
album ever (10 times platinum), with sales of more than 12 million copies.

Bob Marley was a member of the Rastafari movement, whose culture was a key element in the
development of reggae. Bob Marley became a leading proponent of the Rastafari, taking their music
out of the socially deprived areas of Jamaica and onto the international music scene. Bob Marley
was baptized by the Archbishop of the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Church in Kingston, Jamaica on
November 4, 1980.
