About the Author

Bob Marley is notable not only as the man who put reggae on the global map but as a statesman in his native Jamaica who famously brought together the country’s warring factions. He passed in 1981. In 1994, Marley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in 2001, he was posthumously awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Today, Bob Marley remains one of the 20th century’s most important and influential entertainment icons, and his lifestyle and music continue to inspire new generations as his legacy lives on through his music.
