He was the greatest Jamaican reggae artist ever. He put reggae on the international map. His mother was black, father was white.
Marijuana, Crack, Alcohol, Ecstasy, Meth and Reggae. Often People think of him as just a pot-head. That's not true! He was your run in the mill drug addict.
Daddy Yankee's oldest daughter is 19 years old now in 2013. She also has two younger siblings. Which is a sister that is 17 and a little brother that is 15.
"Get up stand up" was the confirmation of the rise in the concern about people's lack of self determination, mainly related to the rights of black people in the society of about a generation ago (our fathers). Today, the message delivered by this song is much wider, because it stands for the need of the whole humanity to stand for their rights in a time when rights are becoming less and less as time goes by.
I'm sure though that Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, visionaries as they were, made this song thinking timelessly about humanity.
bob Marley became famous , from the depths of trench town and all of the fights that people got into, they would write songs about it. Bob Marley was famous for writing songs. (:
While flying home from Germany to Jamaica, in acceptance that he was going to die, Marley's vital functions worsened. After landing in Miami,Florida, he was taken to hospital for immediate medical attention. He died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami (now University of Miami Hospital) on the morning of 11 May 1981, at the age of 36. The spread of melanoma to his lungs and brain caused his death. His final words to his son Ziggy were "Money can't buy life" Marley received a state funeral in Jamaica on 21 May 1981, which combined elements of Ethiopian Orthodoxy and Rastafari tradition. He was buried in a chapel near his birthplace with his red Gibson Les Paul (some accounts say it was a Fender Stratocaster)
The popular song (The Israelites) By Desmond Decker and the Aces came out in l968 (the pun about Bonnie and Clyde helps date the song). The song was definitely in the Reggae or Ska genre, arguably the only (Reggae) song to make the charts- albeit briefly, in the United States.
No it was toe cancer, Acral lentiginous melanoma, a kind of skin cancer.
Acral lentiginous melanoma is observed on the palms, soles and under the nails. It occurs on non hair-bearing surfaces of the body which may or may not be exposed to sunlight. It is also found on mucous membranes. Unlike other forms of melanoma, acral lentiginous melanoma does not appear to be linked to sun exposure.
It is the most common form of melanoma diagnosed amongst Asian and black ethnic groups.

Yes, Elvis was arrested only once that is among the "public record". Elvis Presley was arrested in the mid-1950s for a speeding violation whereby he was cited for doing over 70 mph en route to a performance.
Scotty Moore and Bill Black were resting while Elvis was driving until the sounds of Elvis speaking with the Police Officer awakened them. Elvis tried to make light of the situation by saying "well, hopefully this will be the last time they catch me". As Scotty and Bill followed Elvis to the Police Station Elvis paid in cash the fee (approximately $24.00) and there was no further action required. This sole event "embarrassed" Elvis as he was always respectful of the law.
Reggaeton was made popular by the hispanic youth as it was recognised as a musical genre that they can call their own. This has now spread across all latin communities around the world.
Bob droped out of school at the age of 14 to begin as a student for the local Swiss
2, English and Spanish although Spanish is his 1st language
Bob Marley improved our nation because he smoked nutmeg with Richie Ramos. then they did a little dance, made a little love, and got down that night ;) yea down on there knees, till bob screamed " oh baby please " . now Bobs dead, and Richie is still in high school, and sadly still hooked on nutmeg like its phonics. But at least he kept his promise to Bob, that one day he would have a dream, that white people rule the world. oh wait, never mind. Richie told me that in history class! happy black history month ;)

The hippie movement that began around 1967 occurred during the reggae era. Reggae music was influenced by the hippie movement as well. Hope this helps :)
The person who shot and attempted to kill Bob Marley remains nameless to this day. It is believed that one of the culprits was killed by local people who discovered his involvement, the others are still unkown. The theft of marijuana is considered an unlikely motivation, as the gunmen's actions suggested only the desire to kill Bob. The assination attempt was believed to be politically motivated at the time, though whether it was from left of right wing was a matter of debate. Evidence since, including testimony of a former CIA agent, has suggested the CIA supplied weapons for this attack and may have been involved in motivating it. The CIA have, to date, refused to de-classify any of their files and information regarding Bob Marley or offered explanation as to why they have classified files on him.
