Born on February 6, 1945, in Jamaica, singer, musician and songwriter Bob Marley helped introduce reggae music to the world and remains one of its most beloved artists to this day.

In celebration of Bob Marley’s 67^th birthday, IRIE FM was at the Bob Marley Museum AT 56 Hope Road Kingston.

Elise Kelly’s Easy Skanking show was broadcasted live from the location. Bob Marley’s widow, Rita Marley talked with Elise about the love she shared with Bob.  

Some of the entertainers who were at the Bob Marley Museum to pay tribute include Sizzla, Etana, Protoje, Warrior King, Ras Takura and Keke I.  

During his lifetime, Marley served as a world ambassador for reggae music. He sold more than 20 million records, making him the first international superstar to emerge from the so-called Third World. In 1994, Marley was inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame.

Bob Marley's music still remains popular, more than 36 years after his passing. And his musical legacy is being continued by his widow and some of his children.

Bob Marley died of cancer in 1981.
