In 2004 I was Deployed to Iraq and I used to listen to Bob Marley almost everyday. Listening to him help keep my compassion, empathy and not become callous to the pain and suffering around me.

“Is this Love” is the purest most crucial love song of all time. The picture he paints is love in its most basic and honest form. “We’ll be together, with a roof right over our head, we’ll share the shelter of my single bed” that lifestyle feels like luxury with the right person. The fact that Bob romanticized humility with all the money in the world, his videos were all just real footage of kids and adults sharing vibes and love. Kids of every race was so important to Bob to capture, for he himself was biracial in a time that was very divisive. Bob was our real messiah, as close to Jesus as one could get, his love left a deep impact on the world and still fills us with good vibes and love to this day, decades after his passing

Bob would have turned 78 this past February 6 if he still with us. He left us WAY too young. Most of his songs are so uplifting. Love it.

Anything from Bob Marley is worth a listen, he’s a legend ♥️

The G.O.A.T. of Reggae, there is nobody even close to him and there never will be.

"No Woman, No Cry" might be the first song I've looked for a reaction from you guys that I haven't found! You really should hear it if you don't already know it.

American radio stations were paid to not play Bob Marley back in the seventies. His message was too dangerous.

" ...Jah provide the bread..." Jah is the Rastafarian God who pops up in a lot of Bob's songs, he was a very spiritual guy. " One Love" is basically a reggae hymn!

Redemption song is worth a look... Brilliant lyrics and hits you right in the heart

This was filmed in the UK when we were finally realising there is only 'One Love' after years of strife. Bob Marley and other reggae and soul musicians brought young people together. In clubs and pubs they danced to the music and realised they had more in common than differences. It mattered!

Jay & Amber, you'll love his "Could You Be Loved", "Buffalo Soldier", "Jammin' " and "Get Up Stand Up"!!!! edit - Bob's wife Rita was in a group called the I Threes who often provided backing vocals.

One of the coolest things about older music is all the sounds you’re hearing are real instruments yet it sounds so unique and new. There’s a lot of other bands that manage to accomplish this but bob marley was and is the man.

Love Bob! He was shot once but went to do concert. He said “The Devil doesn’t take a day off, why should I?”❤❤

The song that charted his vision, “REDEMPTION SONG”

My favorite song is Three Little Birds by Bob Marley 😀

Please Desmond Decker and the aces: "Israelites" is a song written by Desmond Dekker and Leslie Kong that became a hit for Dekker's group, Desmond Dekker & The Aces,[2] reaching the top of the charts in numerous countries in 1969. Sung in Jamaican creole, some of the song's lyrics were not readily understood by many British and American listeners at the time of its release.[3] Despite this, the single was the first UK reggae #1 and AMONG THE FIRST TO REACH THE US TOP TEN (peaking at #9).[4] It combined the Rastafarian religion with rude boy concerns,[5] to make what has been described as a "timeless masterpiece that knew no boundaries".[6]

A MUST HEAR Classic & His Most Uplifting Song To Start Your Day With,, Bob Marley "Three Little Birds"

Being a teenager in the '70s, we listened to Pink Floyd and Supertramp. Then some Jamaicans moved into our neighborhood and we discovered Reggae! We were young and didn't understand the struggles they were going through back then... shame that 50 years later, the same struggles are fought by so many people. You guys will love "Jamming", "Exodus", "Could You Be Loved", just to mention a few...

Bob Marley is definitely one of the greatest ever, and this song is one of my favorites by him. Another one I could suggest is "Jammin'," one of his last hits before he died.

Anything from his "Kaya" album is fire 🔥!!!! My favorite Marley album that I bump always!!!

When I was 17, we traveled with three friends from Barcelona to Ibiza, with the ferry, we had two Vespa scooters to move around the island. In those days Marley was the top, there were no walkmans and today's technology but in all the beach bars and terraces Marley flooded him with his reage hits. Is this love, redemption song, waiting in vain, no woman no cry. All mixed with the last traces of hippies made for a vacation to remember for a lifetime. Listening to Marley everything lights up and the sun shines brighter. Keep on rocking ❤

Seen Bob back in 78. It was such a peaceful and smokey concert. Just beautiful.

gone but never forgotten! here is a toast to a great one! R.I.P. my brother! "redemption song" is such a beautiful song.

Jay & Amber, this is why I love you: your mission to spread love through music around the world. 🙂 The universal message of Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" will resonate with you.

That gathering in the park, camping trips, and what ever else, back in the day Bob Marley has always been there blasting away on somebody's outdoor setup. Best of times.

Absolutely worth checking out all his kids Stephen Damian Julian, and so on. Even his grandson 'Skip' is awsome

"Waiting In Vain" his best song IMO.

R.I.P Mr Bob Marley. I love his music. Thanks Jay and Amber.

In the Netherlands one of the big soccer teams ALWAYS sings Three little Birds by Bob Marley (&the Wailers) before every game.

Grande Bob, único y un genio, y como todos los genios murió joven.

Reggae was a huge thing in Europe in the 1970ties and 80ties. And it still is quite popular. Futher suggestions: Jimmy Cliff "The Harder They Come " Desmond Dekker "Israelites" Stevie Wonder "Jammin'"

This song was written for Cindy Breakspeare. Many of us suggest Get Up Stand Up which was written with Peter Tosh who was in the original Wailers with Bob and Bunny Wailer. I also highly recommend Peter Tosh's Stepping Razor and Legalize It. And for me, the deepest song Bob wrote, Redemption Song. There are so many Bob Marley songs you can do almost any one and get a great song. A couple more I like are Coming In From The Cold and Real Situation. To discover a whole bunch more great reggae artists I recommend the soundtracks of the films The Harder They Come and Rockers!. Artists like Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker, Junior Murvin, The Mighty Diamonds and more. Also Black Uhuru, World Is Africa. And Eek A Mouse Wah Do Dem.

This fact that Bob Marley once walked among us automatically made the world a better place! I suggest you check out his songs "No Woman No Cry"; "Redemption Song", "Buffalo Soldier" ;"Three Little Birds"; "I Shot the Sheriff" (which was covered by Eric Clapton) ; "War"; "One Love"; "Soul Rebel" & "Exodus". His son Ziggy is also a very talented artist. You should check out his songs "Tomorrow People"; "Love Is My Religion"; "True to Myself"; "Personal Revolution" ;"Dragonfly" & "Wild & Free".

"Jammin" another feel good tune

Bob Marley's music is purely spiritual.

My mum played Bob so much in my childhood. I had a rasta whistle, scarf, and used to blare out buffalo soilder at the top of my voice. Must of looked odd seeing a 5 year white kid obsessed with a different culture. Music holds no barriers, if you love it, listen dance and embrace it

REDEMPTION SONG, /NO WOMAN, NO CRY/ JAMMIN

I wore out my cassette of Bob Marley back in H.S. In the 70’s. My favorite was “Jammin” Later on I came to luv “Redemption Song” cause hey, “we got to fulfill the book”!

Bob the GOAT.

Marley was an incredible artist, a visionary but you dont have to believe me you can go to almost every country and they can tell you how great his music is.

"Stir It Up", "Three Little Birds", "One Love"...these are some of Marley's songs that carry the same transcendent, almost spiritual quality that characterized the Rocksteady music that reggae grew out of..."Sweet Sensation", "It's My Delight", "Rivers of Babylon" by the Melodians..."Many Rivers to Cross" by Jimmy Cliff..."Israelites" by Desmond Dekker..."Freedom Street" by Ken Boothe..."Gave You My Love" by Delroy Wilson...

Bob Marley songs: War, Buffalo Soldier, No Woman No cry, Lively up yourself, Redemption song, Small Axe, I shot the Sheriff (stolen by Eric Clapton), Concrete Jungle, Get up, Stand up. To name a few.

Never liked Bob Marley too much when he was first hitting the scene in the UK but as I've got older, I'm really appreciating him and his music.

Tragic that Bob Marley died of melanoma. What a great artist and humanitarian. He drove a BMW and used to joke that it stood for Bob Marley & Wailers. Now for my reaction request. Please react to Benjamin Tod singing Using Again. Tod spent much of his life hopping train cars and traveling around the country, as well as battling alcohol, heroin and other addictions. Those experiences and then coming clean infuse his songs with a really personal quality.
