Biography

Jamaican musician who was the lead exponent of reggae music in America. By age 17, he was writing music and thanks to a recording break, was on the charts by 19. His pop culture singing career was one that took off like a skyrocket, but quickly burnt out.

Being raised as a tough black ghetto kid, he spent his entire life as a doper and an outlaw.

He was diagnosed with liver and lung cancer in 1980 and died on 5/11/1981, Miami, FL.

David Fisher quotes Stephen King's biography "Bob Marley" which quotes his passport for February 6th but Marley himself said that was the wrong date.

Biographer Robert Duncan "Only the Good Die Young," 1986, wrote "there is a question of the accuracy of the data."
