Today we celebrate the legendary Robert Nesta Marley, better known as Bob Marley. The Jamaican born singer and songwriter made music that impacted the world and is arguably one of the greatest artists that ever lived. In July 1977, Marley was found to have a type of malignant melanoma. He later died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami (now University of Miami Hospital) on the morning of May 11, 1981, at the age of 36. Born February 6th 1945, Bob would have been 67 years old today.
Check out our favorite Bob Marley quotes and music:
“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”
“Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I'm not perfect
-and I don't live to be-
but before you start pointing fingers...
make sure you hands are clean!”
“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.
None but ourselves can free our minds.”
“My music will go on forever. Maybe it's a fool say that, but when me know facts me can say facts. My music will go on forever.”
