For many Americans, the name Marley is synonymous with reggae, a genre that originated in Jamaica in the '60s. Bob Marley's mastery of the music led him to become the first international superstar from a third-world nation. Throughout his career, he sold more than 20 million records and was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Jan. 19, 1994.
Marley was born in Jamaica on Feb. 6, 1945. He began honing his craft as a child when he and a friend, Neville "Bunny" O'Riley Livingston, discovered a mutual love of music and inspired each other to develop their talent.
