Tribute to the King

Bob Marley was born Robert Nesta Marley on
February 6, 1945. Bob was born to Cedella Marley
when she was 18. Bob’s early life was spent in
rural community of Nine Miles, nestled in the
mountainous terrain of the parish of St. Ann.
Residents of Nine Miles have preserved many
customs derived from their African ancestry
especially the art of storytelling as a means of
sharing the past and time-tested traditions that
are oftentimes overlooked in official historical
sources. The proverbs, fables and various chores
associated with rural life that were inherent to
Bob’s childhood would provide a deeper cultural
context and an aura of mysticism to his adult
songwriting.
Norval and Cedella married in 1945 but Captain
Marley’s family strongly disapproved of their
union; although the elder Marley provided
financial support, the last time Bob Marley saw
his father was when he was five years old; at
that time, Norval took his son to Kingston to live
with his nephew, a businessman, and to attend
school. Eighteen months later Cedella learned that
Bob wasn’t going to school and was living with
an elderly couple. Alarmed, she went to Kingston,
found Bob and brought him home to Nine Miles.
The next chapter in the Bob Marley biography
commenced in the late 1950s when Bob, barely
into his teens, left St. Ann and returned to
Jamaica’s capital. He eventually settled in the
western Kingston vicinity of Trench Town, so
named because it was built over a sewage trench.
A low-income community comprised of squatter-
settlements and government yards developments
that housed a minimum of four families, Bob
Marley quickly learned to defend himself against
Trench Town’s rude boys and bad men. Bob’s
formidable street-fighting skills earned him the
respectful nickname Tuff Gong.
Despite the poverty, despair and various unsavory
activities that sustained some ghetto dwellers,
Trench Town was also a culturally rich
community where Bob Marley’s abundant musical
talents were nurtured. A lifelong source of
inspiration, Bob immortalized Trench Town in his
songs “No Woman No Cry” (1974), “Trench Town
Rock” (1975) and “Trench Town”, the latter
released posthumously in 1983.
By the early 1960s the island’s music industry
was beginning to take shape, and its development
gave birth to an indigenous popular Jamaican
music form called ska. A local interpretation of
American soul and R&B, with an irresistible
accent on the offbeat, ska exerted a widespread
influence on poor Jamaican youth while offering a
welcomed escape from their otherwise harsh
realities. Within the burgeoning Jamaican music
industry, the elusive lure of stardom was now a
tangible goal for many ghetto youths.
Uncertain about the prospects of a music career
for her son, Cedella encouraged Bob to pursue a
trade. When Bob left school at 14 years old she
found him a position as a welder’s apprentice,
which he reluctantly accepted. After a short time
on the job a tiny steel splinter became embedded
in Bob’s eye. Following that incident, Bob
promptly quit welding and solely focused on his
musical pursuits.
Last words to his son Ziggy, " Money can not buy
life"
