Happy 69th Birthday Bob Marley!

By Jeremy Ritch in Music, YouTube February 6, 2014

Bob Marley would have been 69 years old today. His life was cut tragically short by Cancer in 1981. Marley was not just a musician, he was a voice of change, a man of peace, and a leader to his people. His impact on music is enormous, bringing Reggae to the world which had never been done before and also bringing his message of equality and peace with it.

Here is a TouTube playlist of my favorite Marley songs
