| |
| 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 Ś 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 Ś 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 Ś Damian, Julian, and Ky-Mani Ś pursued careers in music |
| as well. |
