'BORN ON THIS DAY' - 'BOB MARLEY' born ...Robert Nesta Marley aka The Reggae Legend
Singer, musician, songwriter. Born on February 6, 1945, in Jamaica. Bob Marley helped introduce reggae music to the world and remains one of its most beloved artists to this day. The son of a black teenage mother and much older, later absent white father, he spent his early years in the rural village known as Nine Miles in the parish of St. Ann.
One of his childhood friends in St. Ann was Neville "Bunny" O'Riley Livingston. Attending the same school, the two shared a love of music. Bunny inspired Bob to learn to play the guitar. Later Livingston's father and Marley's mother became involved, and they all lived together for a time in Kingston, according to Christopher John Farley's Before the Legend: The Rise of Bob Marley.
Arriving in Kingston in the late 1950s, Marley lived in Trench Town, one of the city's poorest neighborhoods. He struggled in poverty, but he found inspiration in the music around him. Trench Town had a number of successful local performers and was considered the Motown of Jamaica. Sounds from the United States also drifted in over the radio and through jukeboxes. Marley liked such artists as Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, and the Drifters.
Marley and Livingston devoted much of their time to music. Under the guidance of Joe Higgs, Marley worked on improving his singing abilities. He met another student of Higgs, Peter McIntosh (later Peter Tosh) who would play an important role in Marley's career.
A local record producer, Leslie Kong, liked Marley's vocals and had him record a few singles, the first of which was "Judge Not" released in 1962. While he did not fare well as a solo artist, Marley found some success joining forces with his friends. In 1963, Marley, Livingston, and McIntosh formed the Wailing Wailers. Their first single, "Simmer Down," went to the top of the Jamaican charts in January 1964. By this time, the group also included Junior Braithwaite, Beverly Kelso, and Cherry Smith.
The group became quite popular in Jamaica, but they had difficulty making it financially. Braithewaite, Kelso, and Smith left the group. The remaining members drifted a part for a time. Marley went to the United States where his mother was now living. However, before he left, he married Rita Anderson on February 10, 1966.
After eight months, Marley returned to Jamaica. He reunited with Livingston and McIntosh to form the Wailers. Around this time, Marley was exploring his spiritual side and developing a growing interest in the Rastafarian movement. Both religious and political, the Rastafarian movement started in Jamaica in 1930s and drew its beliefs from many sources, including Jamaican-born black nationalist Marcus Garvey, the Old Testament, and their African heritage and culture.
For a time in the late 1960s, Marley worked with pop singer Johnny Nash. Nash scored a hit with Marley's song, "Stir It Up," around the world. The Wailers also worked with producer Lee Perry during this era and some of their successful songs together included "Trench Town Rock," "Soul Rebel," and "Four Hundred Years."

Michael Jackson Tribute Grammy's 2010
Check out Usher, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson pay tribute to the King of Pop at the 2010 Grammy Awards!
Leading the winner's circle was Beyoncé, who made history with six trophies - the most ever won by a woman in one night at the awards bash.
Taking the prize for song of the year for Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), she said: "Thank you so much... this has been such an amazing night for me and I'd love to thank the Grammys."
Nominated for 10 awards, she said thanked her hubby, saying: "I'd like to thank my family including my husband, I love you," she added, referring to rapper Jay-Z.
Meanwhile, it was country starlet Swift, 20, who beat her to the album of the year prize, with her record "Fearless".
Taking home a total of four awards, Swift leapt about the stage gushing: "Oh wow —thank you so much! I just hope that you know how much this means to me ... that we get to take this back to Nashville."
But the glory was stolen by an old pro and a fashion queen when Sir Elton John confirmed the hype and took to the stage to open the night with a Lady Gaga duet.
Gaga stunned the crowd in a painfully revealing green leotard and shoulder pads to perform her track Poker Face before the Rocket man joined her to sing a mash up of his hit Your Song with her Speechless song.
Britney Spears was among the fashion disasters on the night when she turned up in a bodysuit draped in a mesh sheath.
