5.When Bob was at school his best subject was mathematics. He didn’t stay in school for long though, and left at a young age when he managed to secure himself as an apprentice welder. After a dangerous injury in which a piece of metal flew into his eye, he decided to leave, ultimately for the whole world’s benefit.

6. The record label Tuff Gong was set up by Bob. It was named after his self-made nickname. This record label now boasts one of the largest audio recording facilities in the Caribbean.

7.Bob was well known for being a bit of a ladies man. Throughout his life he had an involvement in many different women’s lives. Several of these women bore him children - he had one main chat-up line: “Yuh wan have ma baby?” Apparently he used this a little bit too much.

9.A 1977 football injury led doctors to discover a malignant melanoma in Marley’s toe. They recommended amputation, but he refused for religious reasons. The tumour then spread, which ultimately caused his death.

10.When Bob was terminally ill he wanted to end his days in Jamaica, but unfortunately, on the Germany to Jamaica journey, didn’t make it past Miami. Ever the romantic, he was buried on home turf along with a soccer ball, his Gibson Les Paul guitar, and a bud of marijuana.

10. He wasn’t a lover of luxury items, but did have a BMW. He’s been quotedas saying, “I have a BMW. But only because BMW stands for Bob Marley and the Wailers, not because I need an expensive car.”

11.From the age of four it was discovered Bob Marley could read palms. When Cedella (Bob’s mother) first heard of this from relatives and neighbours she took it as a joke. These palm readings invariably came true, which left his mother quite shaken. When Bob was a lot older and returned to Kingston, a woman asked him to read her palm - he replied: “I’m not reading no more hand: I’m singing now.”

12. Marley was awarded with the United Nations Medal of the Third World just before his first trip to Africa

13. Like Jimi Hendrixx and Chuck Berry, Marley has never won a Grammy. He was awarded posthumously in 2001. His sons have racked up quite a few. Ziggy has seven, Stephen has six and Damian has four.

14. While known widely as a Rastafarian, he was also a believer in Pan-Africanism and gave plenty of praise to Marcus Garvey. The cuts “Redemption Song,” “Zimbabwe” and “Exodus” were rich in odes to African diaspora.

15. He learned how to play the guitar in his late teens.

16. “Three Little Birds” has been recommended by college elite to studentsas a means of easing anxiety.

17. Outside of red, green and gold, brown and beige were his favorite colors.

18. The Wailers were initially billed as a rock band and Marley thought Americans would interpret his music as R&B.

19. Marley’s mother Cedella Booker has his body in a tomb above ground and will not be buried or displayeduntil the world is in a better place.

20. Because the Rastafarian Movement’s roots stem from Ethiopia, there is a Bob Marley statue erected there. There’s also a one in Kingston, Jamaica and another in Banatski Sokolac, Serbia.

Bob Marley died today 37 years ago

If you ask any Rastafarian, Bob Marley never left. While he’s been gone from the earth since 1981, his music and vision for peace has influenced generations.

With celebrations taking place all over the world for what would’ve been his 73rd earthstrong, we gathered some not-so well known facts about the icon.
