Robert Nesta \»Bob\» Marley, OM (6 February 1945 — 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer, songwriter, and musician. Considered one of the pioneers of reggae, his musical career was marked by fusing elements of reggae, ska, and rocksteady, as well as his distinctive vocal and songwriting style. Marley\’s contributions to music increased the visibility of Jamaican music worldwide, and made him a global figure in popular culture for over a decade.

The Wailers subsequently released eleven further studio albums; while initially employing louder instrumentation and sig, the group began engaging in rhythmic-based song construction in the late 1960s and early 1970s, which coincided with the singer\’s conversion to Rastafari.
