Born to a Black mother and white father, life could be difficult, and he was often bullied for the colour of his skin. But Bob didn't let others' unkindness harden his heart, instead he dreamed of a world where everyone felt they belonged. At twelve years old, he moved to Kingston and fell in love with ska--a style of popular music indigenous to Jamaica. Over the next few years he wrote songs, took singing lessons and played as much as he could with his newly formed band, Bob Marley and the Wailers. A year after their first hit single, Bob was introduced to Rastafari, a Jamaican religion and political movement. Driven to spread Rastafari beliefs, Bob and his band began to create Reggae, using their lyrics and melodies to fight for social justice and advocate for peace.

The Wailers played with Marley on all of the hit singles and albums that made him a legend, yet their story since his death is a little-known saga of betrayal, greed, and murder that is told here in its entirety for the first time. Written in collaboration with Aston \"Family Man\" Barrett and other surviving band members, the book explores Marley's colorful journey from downtown Kingston onto the world stage. It covers the assassination attempt on Marley's life, his exile in London, the kidnapping and decapitation of Barrett's father, and the death by gunfire of both Peter Tosh and drummer Carlton Barrett. Bitter acrimony followed Marley's own death from cancer as the iconic singer's legacy was parlayed into a multi-million dollar industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 616\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.74 x 9.16 x 6.12 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49628670427291,"sku":"9781847727060","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/7172\/files\/Wailing-Blues-The-Story-of-Bob-Marleys-Wailers-Paperback.webp?v=1790251998"},{"product_id":"bob-marley-a-life-from-beginning-to-end-paperback","title":"Bob Marley: A Life from Beginning to End - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eHourly History\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiscover the remarkable life of Bob Marley...\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBob Marley, the most prominent reggae musician of all time, was truly an icon.
