For more than four decades, Bob Marley has been providing the world with his powerful, evocative, and transformational music. Initially introducing the music of his native Jamaica to all corners of the globe, Marley signed with Island Records in 1973 before going on to achieve international superstardom and now legendary status. His songs remain timeless and universal – a sound that echoes through the generations – and with it, The Wailers & Marley have built a place for themselves in the very fabric of our lives.
