Bob Marley (1945-1981) was an internationally acclaimed Jamaican reggae musician, Rastafarian, and Pan-Africanist. Due to his success, first with The Wailers and then during his solo career, the Marley name has become nearly inseparable with reggae and the Rastafari religion. Marley, who remains a beloved symbol of peace and music, died of cancer in 1981 at the young age of 36.
