Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley (February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He was the lead singer, songwriter and guitarist for the ska, rocksteady and reggae bands
The Wailers (1964–1974) and Bob Marley & The Wailers (1974–1981). Marley remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited for helping spread both Jamaican music
and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience.

Possibly the most iconic figure in modern music, Bob Marley will always be the man that bought reggae to the mainstream. This programme investigates the man behind the myth. Set around a swathe of
classic performance footage, we speak to those closest to the man, including his eldest son Ziggy Marley, Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths (The I-Threes, Marley’s backing band from
1974), his charismatic manager Don Taylor, Bruno Tilley, the creative director of Island Records, and more.
