Portrait of Bob

Ahhh, classic Marley, “Liberate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.” Wrapped in a swirl of ganja smoke playing soccer is how I think of Bob, locks floating on the wind. Although Toots Hibbert coined the word ‘reggae’ with The Maytals 1968 song ‘Do The Reggay” it was Bob Marley that made reggae famous worldwide.
