Bob Marley

During a concert in New York Bob Marley almost fainted. The next morning, on 21 September 1980, he went jogging with Skilly Cole in Central Park. Bob collapsed and was taken back to the hotel. Several days later it became clear that Bob had a brain tumor and he had, according to the doctors, not even a month to live. Bob Marley’s music, lifestyle, and outlook on life was greatly influenced by his belief in Rastafarianism, …

…in one love. He felt that one had to take the initiative to Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds” (Redemption Song). Bob Marley was the undisputed sovereign of reggae music and the revolutionary soul-profit whose music has and continues to have a massive impact on people of all races throughout the World. The Rastafarain life that Marley led truly made him a prophet of God and of the people.
