BOB Marley could easily be considered as one of the world’s greatest musical legends who is credited with helping to spread reggae music and Rastafari worldwide. This revolutionary Jamaican musician who made his transition nearly 30 years ago, remains fresh in the minds of many.

Today would would have been the 66th birthday of the King of Reggae. The Sunday Observer took it to the streets of the Corporate Area to find out some of his favourites songs from the people who loved this charismatic singer, songwriter and performer.

Henry Manahan

Three Little Birds. Bob Marley is the boss and this song just shows a tiny fraction of the man’s talent. It gives me a feeling of hope even in the deepest and darkest time.

Sheryll Brown

I love One Love as it speaks about unity of all. It gives me this serene feeling and love is really what the world need so Bob’s appeal for love is clear in this song.

Winston Jones

All of Bob’s song are favourites of mine from Zimbabwe, One Love to Three Little Birds. It’s hard to choose a particualar favourite. The man was truly a musical legend.

Shamora Barnett

Turn Your Lights Down Low. This is a perfect love song as it sets the mood for love. Whenever this one plays in my bedroom, my boyfriend and I create magic. It’s like we are in a love trance.

Sebriena McLean

Who The Cap Fit. I love all of Bob Marley’s song but I particularily like this one as it is perfect for ‘throwing words’ on my enemies (laughs). I play this one especially on a Sunday morning when I am doing my chores this is another masterpiece of the legendary Robert Nesta Marley.

Tony Davis

It’s really hard to choose a favourite as I am a lover of all his songs. Bob was a great musician and his music lives on. Bob is the greatest and his song One Love gives a strong message about love.

Junior Davis

I am a firm believer in Bob’s music and its hard to choose a favourite but, We And Dem is a great song from this great man. The man is great he is like a prophet to rastafarians and bald head alike (sings the chorus to the song).

Ludley Hogarth

When it comes to Bob one cannot have a favourite Bob Marley song, that’s hard. I will therefore have to say that every song that he utters is a favorite of mine.
