Today the influence of reggae is everywhere, and a world without it would be unthinkable. However, until the early seventies, reggae was virtually unknown in most of the world.
Reggae originated in relative isolation in Jamaica in the late 1960s, and when it was first heard in Europe and North America, it sounded truly revolutionary. It was a completely new sound that changed the course of music almost as much as rock ‘n roll had done a decade earlier.
However, reggae might not have caught on like a wildfire around the world had it not been introduced by an extraordinary man, who was both an extremely charismatic performer and one of the greatest singers and songwriters who ever lived. His name was, of course, Bob Marley.
Marley died young, at the age of 36 in 1981, yet over the course of a relatively short career that lasted less than two decades, with only eight years as an internationally charting artist, he became a household name around the world.
So how did such a startlingly original form of music, and such a startingly original musician and performer, emerge at the same time and in the same place-a small Caribbean island roughly the same size as Cyprus or New York City, with a population of less than two million people at the time Marley grew up? And how did this form of music and this performer manage to take the world by storm? These are the questions that we’ll discuss in this blog.
SYNCOPATION
The many music styles in Jamaica from which reggae arose include mento, calypso, jazz, rhythm and blues shuffle, Nyabingi music, and ska. Ska emerged in Jamaica in the late fifties, and is a dance music characterized by a quarter note walking bassline, the instantly recognizable guitar and piano accents on all upbeats, jazz-influenced horn riffs, and a kick drum accent on the third beat of the four-beat bar. It became the popular music amongst young people in Jamaica after the country gained independence from, British rule in 1962.
In the mid-sixties, ska transformed into rocksteady, which slowed down the beat, and laid the accents on two and four. From this, it was a relatively minor step towards reggae, which slows down the beat even more, and keeps the accents on two and four, usually played by guitar and/or keyboard. Unusually, the snare accents the third beat, suggesting half time.
The most common reggae drum rhythm is called ‘one drop,’ because it has only one kick in each bar. In a reversal of the emphasis on the one in funk, the kick on the first beat is left out. Instead, the kick, like the snare, only accents the third beat. As reggae musicians like to put it: play three beats and only suggest the fourth. The ‘steppers’ reggae rhythm is a variation, with a four-on-the-floor kick.

What other artists do YOU think changed music? Comment them below!
Bob Marley, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Little Richard, James Brown, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Nirvana, Prince, Genesis/Peter Gabriel/ Phil Collins, and more.
I would say Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb!
Gustav Mahler
Kraftwerk.
It's not one artist, but, in late summer/early fall of 1970 the music world pivoted from Cream/Hendix to singer songwriters. The two songs that did that here on FM radio in the Philly area were 1) Fire and Rain (Taylor) and Your Song (John/Taupin). Joni, whom you've covered (thanks!) was part of that, and so, a little later as I recall, was your guy John Martyn. I'd love to hear your thoughts and analysis on what it takes to get a mix to sit "under" a vocal rather than getting a vocal to sit "in" the mix. For example, James has said his struggle was always to get the instrumentation (eg bass) down under his voice. While we kind of think of Fire and Rain as an acoustic guitar piece, the released version sounds to me like it's mostly piano and (bowed?) bass (Lee Sklar would know). It has huge bottom end. The "guitar," I think but you would know, is just that characteristic hammer-pull James does, used almost like a sample/loop. Sorry to be so long-winded, carry on!
my name is Tyrone Marley. I am 11 years old and I was named after Bob Marley. I love his music and thank you mum for named me after this great human being. One love ❤💛💚
I’m Jamaican and a documentarian of Bob Marley the man and his music. You’ve done the most wonderful job in this production. It should be expanded into a full length film. It would win at every film festival. By the way, I saw Bob Marley on stage at the Madison Square Gardens and the 1980’s Hamburg concerts. Entrancing!
You’ve produced a great work! Thank you for getting this out to the people. Hail Bob Marley!
Bob, Peter Tosh, and Bunny in the same band is crazy.
Yes, it is!
None has been able to impact the world like Bob Marley, trust me,I am latino and i can tell you that from Mexico to the end of the continent he's a legend,all hispanic countries love love him and he's damn missed..
He was a musical master, a maestro!
The emotions you let transcend in your personal tribute to Bob were shared and appreciated. Give thanks!
Thanks ever so much! That means a lot
I don’t anyone who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, especially in the UK, and doesn’t love at least 2 or 3 Marley & The Wailers songs. For me his music shaped so much for the youth of the time and continues to do so. Like the album, simply a Legend.
Agreed! Such a huge influence
Sometimes a UA-cam video is fun, or helpfull, or whatnot, but still become a background video for other activities. This video about Bob Marley stopped me in my tracks and I was hanging on to your every word. Thank you guys SO much for this jewel.
Wow! Thanks ever so much Nick, that really means a lot
You can sense the honesty and reverence and pure admiration of the presenter to Bob Marley. This makes this video unique.
My wife bought me a record player and the Album Legend for a Christmas gift last year. What a great gift
Amazing gift!
Marley not only changed music, he changed LIFE as we know it! This man was so far ahead of his time, we're still in awe 40 years after his death. Thank you, Warren for the amazing video and tribute to the king, Robert Nesta Marley, O.M. cheers from the US! ✌️
Thank you for your wonderful comment Brandon!
Wasn't ahead of his time bro, he came when the world was locked in revolution mode. His music said it all, a real REVOLUTIONARY he was.
@@freedomsong9747he changed peoples perception on how one should look and be and what they should believe in. Be who you are and don't let people put you down for being different.
I am a Jamaican and I’m proud of the diligent work that you have done in this Marley research. Thank you very much. Loxley Richards.
Thanks ever so much Loxley!!
That really means a lot
Bob Marley is simply one of the greatest musicians of all time. His motivational and inspirational music led so many, and definitely put Reggae on the map! Awesome work as always!
Agreed! For me Top 5 greatest artist of ALL time!!
@@Producelikeapro Awesome man!
@@RC32Smiths01 thanks ever so much!
@@Producelikeapro my pleasure!
@@RC32Smiths01 Thanks!
Warren... mate, you never fail to deliver, but this was one of your best.
Thanks ever so much Luke!
Please do 2pac and dr Dre in your next video.
We're both Warren, no wonder you video is legendary!
Bob Marley is more than just a muscian or songwriter, he was a spokesperson for humanitarianism & a gifted charismatic being chosen to reshape our views on life. Well done Warren, this was one of your best!
Thanks ever so much Asish! Agreed 100%!
War story: My day job from 1976 to 1981 was working in the guitar department at Manny's Music on 48th St in Manhattan. I remember Al Anderson was in the store one day, when it was clear that Bob was really sick so we asked how he was doing. It really stuck with me how Al said (in his perfect Jersey accent) that "It started in his....foot" It was chilling. He couldn't believe it, and neither could we - a deity felled by some cells that wouldn't stop dividing. Every day, tell the ones you love that you love them - and RIP Bob.
Yes, such a terrible story, very sad indeed.
Bob Marley is like a lightning bolt, he not only changed music - he created a style of music and made it his own. In addition to changing music, he created a culture, beyond music. His message of peace, brotherhood and equality is an example more should portray. He is in that pantheon of those rare artists who not only changed the medium, but changed the world too. Excellent video, Warren. Thank you!
Also - Carlos Santana deserves an "Artists Who Changed Music" video.
Agreed, Bob Marley is a true life changing talent!
This is Everton from Vancouver Canada I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this amazing short documentary about one of the greatest songwriter I think we have ever seen in our lifetime. Bob Marley was one of the best storytellers. One of the best influential person I have known. There's always a positive message and everyone of his song. It is surely one of the greatest of all time we all love him and we miss him immensely rest in peace my brother Bob Marley 🔥🔥🔥🎸🎼🎤
Thanks ever so much! That really means a lot! I appreciate your kind words and support
Great explanation of Marley and his music. Very touching tribute at the end, thankyou.
Thanks ever so much!
Please do 2pac and dr Dre next please.
Simply put, you cannot have a series called "Artists That Changed Music" and NOT at some point feature Bob Marley!!
I'm sure all of the artists and bands you've showcased up 'til now were deserving of the recognition, but it would've been an unthinkable disservice to not have tackled Marley's contribution to global popular music -- AND pop culture beyond music, alone
Agreed, Bob Marley was a true Master, one of the greatest of ALL time!
I only saw him once in concert, and what struck me was the sincerity of his words.
He lived his own words, he was not a preacher, too smart for that, but a spreader of a different word, of a different kind of rebellion. Bob Marley was a giant!
Thanks for this great video, with a great summary of the evolution of music in Jamaica.
And we could go on for hours about the influence of rock steady and ska on the punk movement, and the importance of the Trojan label on music, but also on social life, in the UK in the 70s and 80s!
That’s so amazing that you got to see him live! That’s such a beautiful experience to have had!
Thank you for this documentary. Makes me feel extremely proud to be a Jamaican.
Thanks ever so much for sharing that!
Bob Marley is one of the greatest artist of all time,a true legend that his music is knowing world wide..
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
So glad you chose to spotlight Bob Marley, one of the greatest songwriters of all time and a major part of the soundtrack of all our lives. He was an incredible innovator even especially in the context of Reggae and I feel you've done him justice as much as 40 minutes allows. Thank you! I look forward to the Lee Scratch Perry piece
I love this UA-cam channel, and I love Bob Marley's music.
It's great to see 2 things that you enjoy together.
Thank you for doing a video on Marley.
Thanks ever so much! That really means a lot!
@@Producelikeapro You are more than welcome! I'm enjoying this video.
@@FatherAndTeacherTV thanks ever so much!
Had the privilege of seeing Toots and the Maytals perform at a small nightclub in Bloomington, Indiana to a literal standing room only crowd (it was so packed that people had to stand on tables to make room). I had no idea that the Maytals created the term "Reggae." That's awesome. I'd love to hear more about them if you ever can get around to it.
Wow! That's amazing! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Toots didn’t create the term Reggae, he was the first to put the term on record. I know of 2 stories where the term came from so I guess the truth is somewhere in the middle. A song called Nanny Goat by Larry Marshall has an echo delay added to the guitar chop in 1968, the guitar chick now becomes chick-eh with the delay and is said to sound like the word reh- gae. Another story is the organ shuffle is added to reggae in 1968 and sounds like uh-regg-ae. Up until 1968 the music was called Rock Steady.
The timing of reggae is often mistakenly described as half time. I have been educated by Jamaican drummers that it's actually count in full time, and the snare lands on 2 and 4. If you listen to any reggae song being counted in by the drummer, it's counted in full time. Big up and thanks for talking about reggae music.
Thanks ever so much DM Kahn! Although as Paul points out, in the video we don’t say it’s halftime, merely that with the snare on the three it suggests the feel of halftime while remaining in full time.
Fascinating.
@@talkingmudcrab718 yes, indeed!
I saw a documentary once where some old musician from Jamaica said that they came up with the ska rythm kinda by an accident. They tried to play blues, but it turned into ska.
You get about init Kahn lol
For black Caribbean people, our lives start and end with music and our music and black American music from ragtime, jazz, gospel, rock n roll, soul, rap and hip hop is what makes my world go around, for sure.
Bob Marley and his music was a profound touchpoint in 20th century human consciousness. I'm not a Rastafarian but Marley operated as a kind of "musical priest" in a way that maybe no one but the likes of Bach and David (biblical writer of Psalms) had previously done, in recorded human history. I think, on some level, he understood that and enthusiastically served. Great work. Thanks for sharing.
As you know Warren I'm a being a baggy kid frim Northern Britain im a stone roses who later worked with Leckie but I have more pictures of Bob marley than the beatles in my studio. Even the fridge in the kitchen has bob magnets on. He brings thst chilled love vibe which is essential for every session i do. Rest in Peace Robert Nesta Marley. Jah rastafari. ❤️💛💚💯✌️
That’s very cool Paul! We are blessed growing up in the UK during this incredibly influential period!
Marley is surely one of the greatest songwriters, singers and bandleaders ever, but he transcends music. He is one of the greatest figures of the 20th century.
Thanks for a well detailed and at the same time very empathic and emotional breakdown.
❤
YOUR last minute of reflections on Bob Marley summarizes no doubt what he represented for the world and especially for music, well said
Thanks ever so much
I have been a Bob Marley fan for 23 years. My favourite song of his is sun is shining (Kaya Version). This is THE BEST Bob Marley video I have seen. Congratulations.
Well said. We were lucky to have Bob Marley. I can remember the day he died.
Me too! It was a terrible day, very sad
You've omitted Zimbabwe, Africa United. Survival is a Panafricanist Album. African unity, African liberation. True Democracy in Africa were at the Core of Marley work. I personally used his own funds to travel and perform to Zimbabwe 🇿🇼, during independance celebration. Freedom Fighters in many Frontline States were playing Marley records as a source of motivation. Marley adored football... He was super huge leader... He formed one the best band in Pop. I do not have words to describe such an immense talent. Of course ideologically he exposed the oppressive system, that why his physical life was shorten. He is missed. Rest in justice and freedom Bob.
Not only he changed music , life stile bit a whole country !!! A truly superior superstar!!!!
So amazing!
Thanx for such a great doco.. When I was a little girl my Dad used to play records at night when my brothers & I were in bed.. He played Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash & he had the album Kaya,, well,, when I heard "Is this Love" as a 7 year old I was in love with Bob Marley.!! What a great love song.. And I've been in love with Bob Marley ever since.. I listen to loads of different music but always come back to Bob & you seem to feel the same as I do that there are just no words to say how amazing he really was..
Thank you for singing his praises,, it's great to hear..
This one is HUGE, Bob Marley changed the world!!! Thank you, Warren for making this incredible series ✌
Yes, he did!! Thanks Ady!
Nice to see you highlighting Jamaica and our music. Bob is greatest
You're very welcome Jason! I'm such a huge fan.
You gave the most accurate statement about a Black person in the diaspora when you described Bob's mother. Thank you.
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!
@@Producelikeapro No problem man, thank you. Like you stated, she's descended from the Akan tribe, who's foreparents was abducted. Too often we're just described as "slaves" when our foreparents were enslaved.
@@shango7942 thanks for pointing that out. Getting these details right is very important
Totally agree, he was a great songwriter. If you take away the genre your left with great songs.. reggae is folk music, dealing with struggle, injustice, death, love, good times, bad times.. Marley didn't just sing it, he lived it.. his music crossed barriers, hints of soul, high tide low tide, funk, all day and all night and folk, redemption song
Ive been living by Bobs teachings and wisdom for over 30 years. It’s incredible how so many of his songs /lyrics are still relevant in todays landscape.
Thank you for putting the spotlight on such an extraordinary artist. Couldn't agree more with your personal outro.
Thanks ever so much for the compliment. Marley was and is, such an important artist!
To me Bob Marley was far beyond my time....but his make me wat I am today
His music well get old....
My next living Legend is Buju Banton
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Bob marley is best of the best, he is the best song writter in the world, i love him so much he means a lot to me thank you bob for these nice lovely classic songs you’ve made
THANKS FOR PUTTING TOGETHER A BEAUTIFUL POST, THANKS EVER SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, EXCELLENTLY PRESENTED.
ONE LOVE ❤️ BOB MARLEY.
Thanks ever so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
long live the liberation of the oppressed. thanks Warren.
thanks Bob.
Thanks ever so much!!
Thank you❤😢...Incredible human being❤❤❤❤ xxxx😢😢😢😢
This made me shred a tear.
Thanks for sharing that. Such a giant we have all benefitted from him and his music!
Peter Tosh is by far my favourite reggae artiste ever…
Spread the positive vibration!! Bob rules
Thanks ever so much!!
@@Producelikeapro thank you man! See someone speak so beautifully about my hero bring a tear to me eyes!
Haile Selassie is my favorite Bob Marley track.
I can't believe this man was taken so young. At 39,Im now older than he ever was... Yet when I look at the likes of him, Jimi, Kurdt, etc, they all seem so much older than me.
Thanks ever so much for sharing! Yes, so sad he died so young
Edit... You already did the Stone Roses and I already saw it!
songs of hope,songs of freedom.the man should be made a Saint. this was a good one!
I want to Share a Story with guys - in love to my dad, who‘s influence on me for the love of music is huge.
We listened to Bob Marley around 2003-2004 when i was like 13 years old. As a german, i loved (and still love) other languages, including english. That being said, we talked about the redemption song and its meaning, translated it in german to get an understanding of ot. Great times.
He had a Bob Marley calender in the Living room and one day in the Bus on our way to the City i asked him loud, with all the peoples around us, what name the guy hanging dead on his wall‘s Name was - i asked for Bob Marley :D
Bob’s music was so beautiful
Thanks ever so much for sharing your story with us! I really appreciate it
the funny thing is Marely's music, and Tosh's music speak volumes as to what is going on in the present.
The biggest problem with your video is that I wanna stop and listening my Marley vinyl. He's a legend!
That’s an amazing comment!!
1❤(1 Love) 1🖤(1 Heart) Bless 🙏🏿
Thanks ever so much!!
Couldn’t agree more. I first listened to him when I was 16. I am now 60, and his music is all I have ever listened to for the last 44 years, and will ever do till I meet him in paradise. There’s no doubt in my mind that he was a star seed. Long live the prophet!
I remember suggesting him a few months before the 40th anniversary of his passing. This video is more than I expected. 👑
People who don’t like Bob Marley don’t like music.
Thanks ever so much! Yes, a huge talent!
good job man - I bought catch a Fire in 1974 - because I liked the big chubby BoB was smoking - when I got home and put the record on the player I was blown away - I just couldnt get my head around it but loved it - I took it to school and played it forour music teacher, Jack Body - who incidentally went on to become Musician Laureate of NZ - and he stood there, entranced - BoB came to NZ in 1979 - on the way to Auckland for the concert my mate crashed his Mach 3 Kawasaki - with me on the back - and we missed the concert. Chris scraped his face on the road and ended up with a glass eye - The Maori in NZ took BoB to heart and we've had some wikked Reggae bands come out - Trinity Roots, Katch a Fire and Fat Freddies Drop - all 3 being really popular in Europe - I became a bass player and now at 62 am still playing my Jazz bass around town. Good story eh dudes....
Thanks Warren. No one is too young to listen to music. :)
Agreed Paul!
Such an important artist! Gonna eat this up so much!
Thanks ever so much LeeStein!
Had me in tears... amazing video brotha! Bob Marley Forever
Thanks ever so much!! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you for doing this.
Sometimes I think. I am the only one
but hearing you talking about Bob Marley, Yeah I feel, .....I think the same about this man.
Thanks ever so much
Amazing video you really did some Bob Marley I was 10 years old. When I first listened to the exodus album. It blew me away the lyrics the words, the power that came from him even at that age is incredible how he continues to have the same effect on so many people, I only wish that I have got to meet him . But as foremost, I do believe he was a prophet sent to teach mankind. How do you will live forever thank you for making this great video. Love and peace to us all. X
Well done!! One of the most comprehensive research efforts and analyses of Bob Marley's work I have ever experienced!! Gratitude ⭐‼👌🏾
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
Well, a pretty amazing piece of work on your part Warren, especially that powerfully stirring eulogy to Bob Marley at the end. I agree with every word, and feel exactly the same way about him and his music as you so obviously do. Absolutely Terrific!
Thanks ever so much my friend! Yes, he touched so many people’s hearts
As a blessing, when I take possession of a car, I always play “Legend”, as the first music played in that car. Bob’s music is a blessing. That’s what it is, a blessing.
That sounds like a wonderful thing to do indeed!
Bob Marley was one of a kind his music lyrics still impact us on present life every time i listen to bob lyrics it's like he still alive their will never be like him
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Woooooww 💓 what a nice tribute of OM (Honourable Marley) was a prophet indeed... everything he ever said in his music is reality and it's happening in our present time...I really miss 😥 BOB
Thanks ever so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video
The history of Mr. Marley, Ska and Rocksteady never gets old. You did good justice to it, thank you. Really liked your personal experience at the end. Thank you, stay well ♡♡
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
Very good narration of the legendary unbeatable BOB MARLEY
Just Spectacular! Nothing else needs to be said.
Thanks ever so much!
Your comments are on point...well said! Catch A Fire Album was the beginning of my view of the world in the Virgin Islands and I was a Cab Driver in NYC when he performed at Madison Square Garden. Everyone who entered the Taxi could not stop talking about his performance. Thanks for your acknowledgement!
What an extraordinary tribute, Warren. Thank you!
Thanks ever so much!
For some Bob Marley is about the beach party and One Love but for most of this world Marley is about Get Up Stand Up, and Revolution.
One of the best compilation of the life and times of Bob Marley. Much appreciated 🎉🎉
Can't believe anyone would hit the dislike button on this amazing video. 🤦♂️
You’re too kind! Thanks ever so much
Warren what a brilliant review, marley is one of the greatest, no matter who you are, bet you cannot stop grooving away and singing to his music
Thanks Ray!!
When Concrete jungle came out in the 70s it was a groundbreaking fusion of roots reggae, rock,soul inovative and futuristic in style that album still sounds amazing now,Burning the follow up album a little less stark but mixed to go worldwide.
Warren. I only discovered your channel a week ago and I’ve already watched many of your vids. You are awesome. I’ve really enjoyed all of them so much! I will watch all of them and I hope you continue to make them. They are unique in the way you mix the history with the technical aspects of making the music. Educational and entertaining at the same time. They help me pass the time during this isolating period. Keep up the good work! Ps…have you considered doing one on Rush?
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it. Yes, love Rush, they are on the list
I have never met anyone who did not love Bob Marley. If I ever do, I will educate them and make them understand how much he changed the world
Haha very well said!
" The influence of Reggae is everywhere. the world without it would be unrecognisable. " Truth.
Thanks PLAP
Thanks ever so much Pat!

Wow!! What a great review of Reggae and Bob Marley. You delivered with accurate content and such emotion that was almost as mesmerizing as a Bob Marley concert. It was very touching for me. Those words quoted from then Prime Minister, Edward Seaga, at Bob's funeral were so profound. Blessed love my friend, from Jamaica.
Sixto Rodriguez. His music is timeless and generational. This amazing musician always inspires me.
That's marvellous! Thanks for sharing
That had me captivated throughout. Absolutely fantastic work! Thankyou for this documentary! 🙏🏼
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!
Thank You Warren!!! Great, great stuff!!! Aloha from Hawaii!!!
Thanks ever so much Kevin!!
Wow that was an amazing history lesson ! We had the song Is This Love as the music when we got married in Alicante Town hall Spain ! He was so amazing
Thanks Jimmy! I really appreciate the great comment!
What an excellent balanced testimony
Thanks ever so much!
Bob Marleys music makes me feel alive. Great Video!
Thanks ever so much!!
You have put into words the way I feel about Bob Marley. Something I could never fathom could be portrayed in words. Thank you for this. Album wise I love Rastaman vibration, Survival (still believe in Zimbabwe) and Natty Dread. Songs, most of them…
Great feature, Warren. The first time I heard Bob Marley & The Wailers it stopped me in my tracks. I was a Music Programmer at a small town AM radio station. Island sent a demo of Rastaman Vibration. The packaging was like nothing we had received before. This was not Waylon Jennings! I remember putting it on the turntable to have a listen. Who is this? What is this? And, what the heck am I supposed to do with it? So, I took it home for the weekend. And, had a listen from an altered perspective. lol. I was hooked. In later years, when I travelled the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America, Bob's music was everywhere. I suspect it still is. RIP Bob. Thank you for your music, your conscience and all the joy you brought us. One Love, brother. One Love.
This is one of the factual documentaries of bob I have heard so far . Great job 👍👍👍
(A little correction)- the most concise and factual documentation of bob I’ve heard to date. 👌
Thank You Warren! Your personal thoughts at the end literally had me in tears. I was blessed to have witnessed two Bob Marley concerts in the 70's at the Santa Barbara County Bowl. An awesome outdoor theater. The second concert on Nov. 25 1979 was one of the last shows to be recorded/filmed before his passing. Hands down the two best concerts I've ever been to. Actually to call them concerts would be an understatement. It was more like a mystical experience than a musical concert. I still remember getting the distinct feeling when he walked out on stage that his aura filled the entire arena. His music and songwriting were way up there on top of the heap, but he was so much more than just a musician! His god given gift for singing, writing and mesmerizing performance was merely a vehicle for something much larger. Most notably he was a UNITER of people, and like you said a mouthpiece for the downtrodden and oppressed. And one of those very rare artists who never let fame go to his head. It wasn't about HIM, it was about the MESSAGE. I heard a story of some guy hiking in the Himalayas, coming upon a tiny little one room goatherder's stone hovel way out in the middle of nowhere... Obviously no electricity but the guy inside had a little battery powered cassette player with one worn out tape. Bob Marley and the Wailers! Needless to say Bob's music gave them a common bond to relate to each other! Same deal way out on the reservation in the middle of the Arizona desert. The Natives were playing Bob Marley!
Thanks Eric! I appreciate your kind words and you sharing your personal experience!
@@Producelikeapro Here's one more interesting Bob story! How Bob's music quite likely saved a guy's life! I was on a plane heading back to CA from a weeks vacation on Kauai (one of the Hawaiian Islands) and ended up talking story with a guy also heading home from there. Hawaii for all its awesome warmth and aloha, like everything also has a "hidden" dark side. This was back in the late 80's so it might have been a bit worse back then. On Kauai there's a road running along the south side and on around to the west that dead ends in the middle of some sugarcane fields. There were many stories of people disappearing out there. There was a small element of very pissed off Hawaiians that certainly didn't hold any Aloha for haoli's (foreign or white people) and had no problem erasing them from their island. So this guy I was talking to said he took a drive out to the end of that road and parked to take a few tokes on a joint and suddenly some huge very menacing looking local boys came out of the cane fields and started approaching him. He's sitting there shaking like a leaf thinking "This could it. I'm dead meat." But then thinking fast, he had a sudden inspiration to crank up a Bob Marley tape he had in the tape player...!! Good move!! As soon as the local boys heard Bob their whole vibe flipped 180!! They ended up passing around the joint and "talking story". A true testament to Bob as UNITER! And that music really is a universal language..
@@Emondotcalm Bob Marley surely was a unifying figure! Thanks for sharing
@UCpyUGZeMUtOvt57UACw3H2g, One more afterthought on my last post. Bob as a voice for the oppressed, and the influence of reggae music. If you know the history of how Hawaii was stolen from the natives it's not hard to see how many of the locals feel like they're oppressed. Indeed many Hawaiians can no longer afford to live in the beloved islands of their ancestors. Many forced to move to the mainland. So the locals took to Bob's music and message big time, creating their own hybrid musical style called "Jah'waiin". A blend of traditional Hawaiian music with reggae featuring ukulele. They especially could relate due to the fact that reggae was "Island music".....
the early 70s marley recordings are fantastic too ...and of course the later stuff .
Haha indeed! It's ALL great!
@@Producelikeapro As a person interested in this stuff ...he is a trailblazing Aquarius ..much like eddie van halen , Mozart , carole king , Dr dre ...etc ...they tend to be pioneers ...
marley was a mold breaker ..as opposed to my often made grammatical mistake of "mould breaker " ....tho, he may also have been handy with a mop ? Who knows ! lol
@@TheMichaelseymour agreed, all incredible pioneers!!
