Bob Marley was once of the first musicians to help reggae cross over popular music. He was an amazing artist who unfortunately died before his time.

Well Nicolas, he was a famous reggae artist from Jamaica...some of his most popular songs include "Exodus" and "Redemption Song"...you can find them on iTunes. Also, his songs often included political messages addressing colonialism in the Caribbean as well as power structures which do not attempt to aid the impoverished. He unfortunately passed away from cancer at the age of 39, but his memory lives on as a musical revolutionary.
