About Bob Marley
Bob Marley was born on February 6, 1945, in Nine Miles, Saint Ann, Jamaica, to Norval Marley and Cedella Booker. His father was a Jamaican of English descent. His mother was a black teenager. The couple planned to get married but Norval left Kingston before this could happen. Norval died in 1955, seeing his son only once.
Bob Marley started his career with the Wailers, a group he formed with Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston in 1963. Marley married Rita Marley in February 1966, and it was she who introduced him to Rastafarianism. By 1969 Bob, Tosh and Livingston had fully embraced Rastafarianism, which greatly influence Marley’s music in particular and on reggae music in general. The Wailers collaborated with Lee Scratch Perry, resulting in some of the Wailers’ finest tracks like “Soul Rebel”, “Duppy Conquerer”, “400 Years” and “Small Axe.” This collaboration ended bitterly when the Wailers found that Perry, thinking the records were his, sold them in England without their consent. However, this brought the Wailers’ music to the attention of Chris Blackwell, the owner of Island Records.
Blackwell immediately signed the Wailers and produced their first album, “Catch a Fire”. This was followed by “Burnin'”, featuring tracks as “Get Up Stand Up” and “I Shot the Sheriff.” Eric Clapton’s cover of that song reached #1 in the US. In 1974 Tosh and Livingston left the Wailers to start solo careers. Marley later formed the band “Bob Marley and the Wailers”, with his wife Rita as one of three backup singers called the I-Trees. This period saw the release of some groundbreaking albums, such as “Natty Dread”, “Rastaman Vibration”.
In 1976, during a period of spiraling political violence in Jamaica, an attempt was made on Marley’s life. Marley left for England, where he lived in self-exile for two years. In England “Exodus” was produced, and it remained on the British charts for 56 straight weeks. This was followed by another successful album, “Kaya.” These successes introduced reggae music to the western world for the first time, and established the beginning of Marley’s international status.
In 1977 Marley consulted with a doctor when a wound in his big toe would not heal. More tests revealed malignant melanoma. He refused to have his toe amputated as his doctors recommended, claiming it contradicted his Rastafarian beliefs. Others, however, claim that the main reason behind his refusal was the possible negative impact on his dancing skills. The cancer was kept secret from the general public while Bob continued working.
Returning to Jamaica in 1978, he continued work and released “Survival” in 1979 which was followed by a successful European tour. In 1980 he was the only foreign artist to participated in the independence ceremony of Zimbabwe. It was a time of great success for Marley, and he started an American tour to reach blacks in the US. He played two shows at Madison Square Garden, but collapsed while jogging in NYC’s Central Park on September 21, 1980. The cancer diagnosed earlier had spread to his brain, lungs and stomach. Bob Marley died in a Miami hospital on May 11, 1981. He was 36 years old.

Christmas
The. Best
This hoodie is dope as can be. I had some 87 year old lady come up to me to tell me how much she liked it especially the lips and the POW said it reminded her of batman and she wanted to get her granddaughter one.It was a funny exchange but, nonetheless I’ve had ample compliments on the hoodie. Not hyping this up it’s nice af.
Very nice quality. It’s very soft nylon and the picture printed on it is wonderful. I ordered a women’s small for my 11 year old granddaughter and it’s going to be big but would of been perfect for a woman’s small.
Absolutely loved it. Soft and thick for a hoodie compared to others I’ve bought
Dry bright and colorful
Softness
This sweatshirt is nice and the colors are vibrant. I think the size is just barely accurate. It doesn’t stretch like a regular fabric sweatshirt. This one is made of a shinier fabric. My son likes it but he likes more room. We do recommend it, maybe just buy one size up if you want it roomy.
My son’s favorite hoodie!
Got it as a gift.
Love the graphics on hoodie!
Pretty happy
This hoodie is light and cool (cool in both ways)
I buy alot of these hoodie’s, there great. I love
Great hoodie
Looks cool
Absolutely beautiful
It’s been very durable, my son wears it constantly
Perfection
I liked the print it’s very pretty but it’s smaller than expected so size up definitely. Also it’s not sweatshirt material it’s not as absorbent as a sweatshirt but I still like it.
Excellent!
Excellent quality and comfort
My son loves graphic hoodies so I picked this one up for him and he loves it. I have bought several from this shop so far, and none of them have disappointed.
This is an awesome weighted hoodie. It has the feel as a sporty shirt, but heavy. The colors are bright. It is a little big, but my son loves his sweaters like that and he loves wearing this a lot
Bought this for my son. Was thin but was expecting that. It’s still comfortable and the design is great. Very vibrant, looks awesome and just like the picture. I got it for the design and not the warmth so it gets the old 5er from me. Definitely a deal if you dig the design. My son loves it and gets complimented all the time.
Nice quality hoodie. Cool design.
I like it a lot it’s a little smaller than my fiancé’s size is usually an xl and still loose but this is tighter than expected. Order a size bigger
Light weight sweatshirt.
Very comfortable
Gave to friend just had heart surgery. Soft and fun.
