Uzor Maxim Uzoatu pays tribute to Robert Marley, a remarkable musician
It is difficult to believe that 40 years had swept by since the death of the legendary master, Bob Marley.
Yes, Robert Nesta Marley, universally known and adored as Bob Marley, died at 11.40 on Monday morning, May 11, 1981.
Born at 2.30am on Wednesday, February 6, 1945, he was only 36 years old when he passed on but he had more than conquered the world.
Rastafarian, revolutionary, poet, icon, Bob Marley was arguably the most remarkable musician of his age.
He was the product of a liaison between a black mother, Cedella Booker, and a white father, Captain Norval Marley who was a quartermaster with the British West Indian Regiment in Jamaica.
