Bob Marley
Robert Nesta Bob Marley, OM (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer, songwriter and musician who became an international icon, blending mostly reggae, ska and rocksteady in his compositions.

Exodus in 1977, which established his worldwide reputation and elevated his status as one of the world s best-selling artists of all time, with sales of more than 75 million records.
