Nesta Robert "Bob" Marley was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He fronted The Wailers (1963-1974) and Bob Marley &amp; The Wailers (1974–1981), becoming the most widely known performer of reggae music. Marley's music gave voice to the political and cultural issues of Jamaica, spreading both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement worldwide.Marley's best-known hits include "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Could You Be Loved", "Stir It Up", "Get Up Stand Up", "Jamming", "Redemption Song", "One Love" and, "Three Little Birds". His compilation album Legend (1984) is reggae's best-selling album, selling 25 million copies worldwide.

Even as greatest hits packages go, this is an utter gem. Every song is inspired, in a class of its own, whether the real version of "I Shot the Sheriff," the hymnlike "No Woman, No Cry," or the sheer joy of "Jamming." Even allowing that Marley never wrote any bad material, then Legend is still the crème de la crème, the heart and soul of the Jamaican people packed into one record. He was unique, and the message of this record, more than any other, is that he died far too soon.
