Bob Marley – ma man!

Bob MarleyBob Marley the Jamican Legend, I came to know about him just months back. I happen to hear him in a party, came know about his life through some of my French and Brazilian friends. I am impressed, why not? He is known widely for performing reggae music. Born on Feb 6, 1945 for a white father and black mother he faced racial abuse through out his youth. At the age of 17 in 1962 he did his first recording and unfortunately it didnt do well for him. The he formed a local band called Wailing Wailers along with his friend Bunny and Peter Tosh. He became a song writer by his first maiden songs “It hurts to be alone” and “Rule the roadie”. At the age of 21 he got married to Rita Anderson and left to united states with his Mother to make money to finance his music. He came back and did some recordings with his Wailing Wailers but nothing brought him good luck.
