Few people, and far between, have been as powerful a force in music as Bob Marley. Literally bringing a style of music to life worldwide, Bob Marley grew from an underprivileged poor child in Jamaica to a legendary icon synonymous with reggae and Caribbean music. Bob Marley has received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, both posthumously. His album, Legends, released three years after his death, is the best-selling reggae album of all time and is more the ten times Platinum. Bob Marley was more than a man, he was an entire cultural movement recognized the world over. A movement that still continues today.
