Robert Nesta Marley
,
OM
(6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer and songwriter. Considered one of the pioneers of
reggae
, his musical career was marked by blending elements of reggae,
ska
, and
rocksteady
, as well as forging a smooth and distinctive vocal and songwriting style.
Marley's contributions to music increased the visibility of
Jamaican music
worldwide, and made him a global figure in
popular culture
for over a decade.
Born in
Nine Mile
,
British Jamaica
, Marley began his professional musical career in 1963, after forming
Bob Marley and the Wailers
. The group released its debut studio album
The Wailing Wailers
in 1965, which contained the single "
One Love/People Get Ready
"; the song was immensely popular, peaking in the top five on worldwide music charts, and established the group as a rising figure in reggae.
The Wailers subsequently released eleven further studio albums; while initially employing louder instrumentation and singing, the group began engaging in rhythmic-based song construction in the late 1960s and early 1970s, which coincided with the singer's conversion to
Rastafarianism
. During this period Marley relocated to
London
, and the group typified their musical shift with the release of the album
The Best of The Wailers
(1971).
[7]
The group attained international success after the release of the albums
Catch a Fire
and
Burnin'
(both 1973), and forged a reputation as touring artists. A year later the Wailers disbanded, and Marley went on to release his solo material under the band's name.
[8]
His debut studio album
Natty Dread
(1974) received positive reception, as did its follow-up
Rastaman Vibration
(1976). A few months after the album's release Marley
survived an assassination attempt
at his home in Jamaica, which prompted him to permanently relocate to London soon afterward. There he recorded the album
Exodus
(1977); it incorporated elements of
blues
,
soul
, and
British rock
, enjoyed widespread commercial success, and is widely considered
one of the best albums of all time
.
Over the course of his career Marley became known as a Rastafari icon, and the singer sought to infuse his music with a sense of spirituality.
[9]
He is also considered a global symbol of Jamaican culture and identity, and was controversial in his outspoken support for the legalization of
marijuana
, while he also advocated for
Pan-Africanism
.
[10]
In 1977, Marley was diagnosed with
acral lentiginous melanoma
; he died as a result of the illness in 1981. His fans around the world expressed their grief, and he received a
state funeral
in Jamaica. The greatest hits album
Legend
was released in 1984, and subsequently became the
best-selling reggae album
of all-time.
[11]
Marley also ranks as one of the
best-selling music artists
of all-time, with estimated sales of more than 75 million records worldwide,
[12]
while his sound and style have influenced artists of various genres. He was posthumously honored by Jamaica soon after his death, as he was designated the nation's
Order of Merit
award."
