So here's an interesting question, which Marley (not counting Bob for obvious reasons) has the best music? Im doing a "listening to famous musicians kids music" and I just realized how many of his kids do music. Although I'm not surprised, he has 12 kids
There's a reason why this best-of collection has been a steady bestseller since it debuted in 1984: It's got the goods. The 14 songs on Legend go a long way toward demonstrating why Marley rose to become an international superstar. The man melded potent hooks, straight-shooting sincerity, and reggae riddims into some of the most engaging pop anywhere. There's the propulsive "Could You Be Loved," the revolutionary "Get Up Stand Up," which he wrote with Peter Tosh, and the Dylanesque anthem "Redemption Song." The hit parade rolls on with Marley classics like "No Woman No Cry," "I Shot the Sheriff," and the aching love song "Waiting in Vain." Like Marley himself, these songs are truly charismatic. If you can't afford the remarkable Songs of Freedom box set, this disc captures the best of Bob. And that's pretty much the best there is.

By Chris Blackwell for Fathom February 6 is the birthday of reggae legend Bob Marley, who, before he died too young at 36, made some of his best music with Island Records' founder Chris Blackwell. In the years since, Blackwell has opened some of Jamaica's best hotels, like Goldeneye and Strawberry Hill, and more recently created a festival to celebrate Jamaican cuisine. This is his food story, where he eats on the island.
