Decades after Marley’s death, the world still celebrates him. As a Jamaican singer, musician and songwriter, he served as a world ambassador for reggae music and sold more than 20 million records throughout his career – making him the first international superstar to emerge from the so-called third world.
The legacy that Bob Marley left behind is universal – he remains deeply revered as the man who took reggae to the world to earn his iconic status as one of the greatest and most influential musicians of all time.
