Bob Marley's Early Life and Musical Journey

Born in 1945 in Jamaica, Bob Marley faced challenges due to his biracial background. He found solace in music and formed a band called The Wailers with Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh. They gained popularity in Jamaica and recorded their first hit single, 'Simmer Down.' Bob Marley then signed with CBS Records in 1972, but faced tensions within the band. He embarked on a UK tour and began to break through internationally in 1975 with the release of 'No Woman, No Cry.' In 1976, his album 'Rastaman Vibration' reached the top 50 of the Billboard Soul Charts.
