Reggae's most transcendent and iconic figure, Bob Marley was the first
Jamaican artist to achieve international superstardom, in the process
introducing the music of his native island nation to the far-flung
corners of the globe. Marley's music gave voice to the day-to-day
struggles of the Jamaican experience, vividly capturing not only the
plight of the country's impoverished and oppressed but also the devout
spirituality that remains their source of strength. His songs of
faith, devotion, and revolution created a legacy that continues to
live on not only through the music of his extended family but also
through generations of artists the world over touched by his genius.
Robert Nesta Marley was born February 6, 1945, in rural St. Ann's
Parish, Jamaica; the son of a middle-aged white father and teenaged
black mother, he left home at 14 to pursue a music career in Kingston,
becoming a pupil of local singer and devout Rastafarian Joe Higgs. He
cut his first single, "Judge Not," in 1962 for Leslie Kong, severing
ties with the famed producer soon after over a monetary dispute. In
1963 Marley teamed with fellow singers Peter Tosh, Bunny Livingston,
Junior Braithwaite, Beverly Kelso, and Cherry Smith to form the vocal
group the Teenagers; later rechristened the Wailing Rudeboys and later
simply the Wailers, they signed on with producer Coxsone Dodd's
legendary Studio One and recorded their debut, "I'm Still Waiting."
When Braithwaite and Smith exited the Wailers, Marley assumed lead
vocal duties, and in early 1964 the group's follow-up, "Simmer Down,"
topped the Jamaican charts. A series of singles including "Let Him Go
(Rude Boy Get Gail)," "Dancing Shoes," "Jerk in Time," "Who Feels It
Knows It," and "What Am I to Do" followed, and in all, the Wailers
recorded some 70 tracks for Dodd before disbanding in 1966. On
February 10 of that year, Marley married Rita Anderson, a singer in
the group the Soulettes; she later enjoyed success as a member of the
vocal trio the I-Threes. Marley then spent the better part of the year
working in a factory in Newark, DE, the home of his mother since 1963.
Upon returning to Jamaica that October, Marley re-formed the Wailers
with Livingston and Tosh, releasing "Bend Down Low" on their own
short-lived Wail 'N' Soul 'M label; at this time all three members
began devoting themselves to the teachings of the Rastafari faith, a
cornerstone of Marley's life and music until his death. Beginning in
1968, the Wailers recorded a wealth of new material for producer Danny
Sims before teaming the following year with producer Lee "Scratch"
Perry; backed by Perry's house band, the Upsetters, the trio cut a
number of classics, including "My Cup," "Duppy Conqueror," "Soul
Almighty," and "Small Axe," which fused powerful vocals, ingenious
rhythms, and visionary production to lay the groundwork for much of
the Jamaican music in their wake. Upsetters bassist Aston "Family Man"
Barrett and his drummer brother Carlton soon joined the Wailers full
-time, and in 1971 the group founded another independent label, Tuff
Gong, releasing a handful of singles before signing to Chris
Blackwell's Island Records a year later.
1973's Catch a Fire, the Wailers' Island debut, was the first of their
albums released outside of Jamaica, and immediately earned worldwide
acclaim; the follow-up, Burnin', launched the track "I Shot the
Sheriff," a Top Ten hit for Eric Clapton in 1974. With the Wailers
poised for stardom, however, both Livingston and Tosh quit the group
to pursue solo careers; Marley then brought in the I-Threes, which in
addition to Rita Marley consisted of singers Marcia Griffiths and Judy
Mowatt. The new lineup proceeded to tour the world prior to releasing
their 1975 breakthrough album Natty Dread, scoring their first U.K.
Top 40 hit with the classic "No Woman, No Cry." Sellout shows at the
London Lyceum, where Marley played to racially mixed crowds, yielded
the superb Live! later that year, and with the success of 1976's
Rastaman Vibration, which hit the Top Ten in the U.S., it became
increasingly clear that his music had carved its own niche within the
pop mainstream.
As great as Marley's fame had grown outside of Jamaica, at home he was
viewed as a figure of almost mystical proportions, a poet and prophet
whose every word had the nation's collective ear. His power was
perceived as a threat in some quarters, and on December 3, 1976, he
was wounded in an assassination attempt; the ordeal forced Marley to
leave Jamaica for over a year. 1977's Exodus was his biggest record to
date, generating the hits "Jamming," "Waiting in Vain," and "One
Love/People Get Ready"; Kaya was another smash, highlighted by the
gorgeous "Is This Love" and "Satisfy My Soul." Another classic live
date, Babylon by Bus, preceded the release of 1979's Survival. 1980
loomed as Marley's biggest year yet, kicked off by a concert in the
newly liberated Zimbabwe; a tour of the U.S. was announced, but while
jogging in New York's Central Park he collapsed, and it was discovered
he suffered from cancer that had spread to his brain, lungs, and
liver. Uprising was the final album released in Marley's lifetime -
- he died May 11, 1981, at age 36.
Posthumous efforts including 1983's Confrontation and the best-selling
1984 retrospective Legend kept Marley's music alive, and his renown
continued growing in the years following his death -- even decades
after the fact, he remains synonymous with reggae's worldwide
popularity. In the wake of her husband's passing, Rita Marley scored a
solo hit with "One Draw," but despite the subsequent success of the
singles "Many Are Called" and "Play Play," by the mid-'80s she largely
withdrew from performing to focus on raising her children. Oldest son
David, better known as Ziggy, went on to score considerable pop
success as the leader of the Melody Makers, a Marley family group
comprised of siblings Cedella, Stephen, and Sharon; their 1988 single
"Tomorrow People" was a Top 40 U.S. hit, a feat even Bob himself never
accomplished. Three other Marley children -- Damian, Julian, and Ky
-Mani -- pursued careers in music as well.
