Happy Birthday Bob Marley

[Cacia]

the BBC reports this:

On 11 May 1981 Bob Marley died of a cancerous brain tumour in a Miami hospital.

Just call it "toe cancer".

Bob died because his fundamentalist beliefs told him to avoid modern science.

He robbed us all from his continued legacy because of an infected toe.

His 'fundamentalist' beliefs??
shakehead

Can we keep this thread about his birthday and rembrance of his life, all he accomplished and all he touched with his music?

Thank you.

Regards

Andy, wonderful find.......
This is what I wanted to link to earlier
It's the actual video... Iron, lion, zion....

Those who are familiar with rastafarianism will understand the references to zion and lion.

Yes

Today - I listened to a Bunny Wailer interview (on XM) - where Bunny (whom I've had the most incredible pleasure to meet once) talked about the early days when Bob was just starting his career. Telling background info on a lot of older songs; Like Duppy Conqueror, and when they recorded it, and where, and how. It's a great interview.

Enjoy your birthday Bob, you continue to be missed.
