ERKEN DÖNEM

Bob Marley ilk iki single’ını 1962’de kaydetti, fakat o zamanlar fazla ilgi çekmedi. 1963 yılında ilk olarak “The Teenagers” olarak bilinen Bunny Wailer ve Peter Tosh ile bir grup kurdu. Grubun adı daha sonra “The Wailing Rudeboys”, sonra “The Wailing Wailers” ve son olarak “The Wailers” oldu. Daha sonraki çalışmaları, her ikisi de Marley tarafından yazılan “Simmer Down” (1964) ve “Soul Rebel” (1965) ‘dır.

EVLİLİK
Marley 1966 yılında Rita Anderson’la evlendi ve birkaç ay annesiyle birlikte Delaware’de yaşadı.

DÜNYA ÇAPINDA BAŞARI
Wailers’ın 1974 tarihli albümünü Burnin ‘her ikisi de ABD ve Avrupa’da başarılı olan “I Shot The Sheriff” ve “Get Up, Stand Up” ı içeriyordu. Aynı yıl, Wailers  dağıldı.

Bu noktada Marley, ska ve rocksteady’den sonsuza dek reggae olarak adlandırılacak yeni bir stile tam geçiş yaptı.

BOB MARLEY & WAILERS
Bob Marley, grubun tek orijinal Wailer’lısı olmasına rağmen “Bob Marley & The Wailers” olarak turneye çıktı ve kayıt yaptı. 1975 yılında “No Woman, No Cry”, Bob Marley’nin ilk büyük hit şarkısı oldu.

SİYASET VE DİN
Bob Marley, 1970’lerin sonlarında zamanının çoğunu Jamaika’da barış ve kültürel anlayışı teşvik etmek için çalışmalar yaparak harcadı. Ayrıca Jamaikalılar ve Rastafarian dini için istekli bir kültürel elçilik görevinde bulundu. Birçoğu tarafından dini ve kültürel bir figür olarak hatta bazıları için bir peygamber olarak saygı gördü.

ÖLÜMÜ
1977’de Marley ayağının üzerinde bir futbol yarası olduğu düşünülen bir yara buldu ancak daha sonra malign melanoma olduğu anlaşıldı. Doktorlar ayak parmağını kesmeyi önerdi, ancak dini nedenlerle reddetti. Kanser zamanla yayıldı. Sonunda tıbbi yardıma karar verdiğinde (1980’de), kanser terminal döneme girmişti.

Jamaika’da ölmek istedi, ancak evine kadar dayanamadı ve Miami’de öldü.

MİRASI
Bob Marley dünyada, Jamaika müziğinin tanımlayıcı figürü ve manevi bir lideri olarak görülür. Eşi Rita, çalışmalarına devam ediyor ve oğulları Damian “Jong Gong”, Julian, Ziggy, Stephen, KyMani’nin yanı sıra kızları Cedelia ve Sharon da müzikal mirasını sürdürüyor (diğer kardeşler profesyonelce müzik yapmıyor).

ÖDÜLLER
Bob Marley’e verilen ödüller arasında Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’de bir yer ve Grammy Lifetime Başarı Ödülü var.

Nereye giderse gitsin, hatta okula bile götürürdü. Hiçbir zaman şarkı veya gitar dersleri almamış ve müzik eğitimi görmemiştir.

Memphis’e Taşınma

Elvis sekizinci sınıfındayken Elvis’in ailesi Memphis, Tennessee’ye taşındı. Memphis’te en sevdiği şeylerden biri de Charlie’nin kayıt dükkanına gidip müzik dinlemekti. Elvis de gitar çalmaya devam etti.

Sun Records

Memphis’de Sam Phillips adında bir adamın bulunduğu bir kayıt stüdyosu vardı. Elvis ilk olarak annesi için bir şarkı kaydetmek için Ağustos 1953’te bu stüdyoya gitti. Elvis, Sun Records tarafından, keşfedilmeyi beklerken, Sam Phillips, Elvis’e, birkaç şarkıyı kaydetmek için birkaç yerel müzisyen, gitarist Scotty Moore ve basçı Bill Black ile bir araya gelmesini önerdi. Elvis “That All Right” adlı şarkıyı söyleyerken kendi stilini de içine katıp dans ediyordu. Scotty ve Bill, de ona eşlik ediyordu. Sam Phillips oğlanların şarkılarını dinleyince şarkının hit olacağını anladı. Şarkıyı kaydetti ve üç gün sonra radyoda çaldı. Elvis yıldız olma yolunda ilerliyordu.

Ünlü Olması
