Bob Marley
“You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice." -Bob Marley
Bob Marley - a great soul -Well cutting unnecessary details and I apologize his fans for skipping some years and now coming to a short summary of his life.
We know him as a great musician, an artist,a guitarist and the way he lived his life fighting till the end.Bob never saw his father after the age of five, his mother was 18 and father 50 and his father's family didn't accept the marriage. He was a rude boy at school and we can make it out from his songs.He worked with the Wailers till they disbanded and Bob was shot by protesters. He recovered and his album Exodus was released. While he was on tour for Exodus he injured his toe (playing football) and ignored the treatment till the album release. Fighting the pain he again released an album. Recovery was a great work by Bob. His albums told what the conditions were with fellow Africans. His music was revolutionary and touched the soul.He was planning a tour but the injury on his toe had grown to a cancer. Bob was warned by the doctors about his condition and they wanted to cut the cancer but he refused.Marley's last concert was on September and he tried hard to keep himself alive till then but death came tiptoeing and embraced him in darkness in May.All his life Bob tried to struggle and live at the same time. Though his body died his soul is still alive and he breathes in us when we listen his music. His music is immortal.
