Bob Marley was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and guitarist. He achieved international success and some of his songs and sayings continue to be hugely popular even today.
He lived an iconic lifestyle and encouraged people to relax, and not worry too much about the little things. His words, voice and lyrics spoke of love, peace and kindness, and many people look to his songs for support when they are going through tough times in their lives.
Even those who may have ever heard his music, or are not fans of his songs, have heard his lyrics and may even have unknowingly quoted him once or twice. The longevity of his music and his messages is astounding.
His music was different than anything we have today, and he always had a message to get across with his songs. His music was able to bring many people, people of different backgrounds, together.
Even his grandson, Skip Marley, continues Bob Marley's positive tone, inserting this "Don't worry, be happy" spirit into the modern music of today.
Of course it was not always easy for Bob Marley, just like it is not always easy for us. But he continued to stay strong and work through the ups and the downs to become one of the greats.
He was even inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.
