In 1962, Marley recorded his first singles, Judge Not and One Cup of Coffee. He played music together with Neville Livingston (known as Bunny Wailer), Joe Higgs and Peter McIntosh (known as Peter Tosh). His love to music appeared when he was a teenager. His father Norval Sinclair Marley was a white English Jamaican and his mother Cedella Booker was a black Jamaican, so Bob faced racial prejudice from early childhood. Bob Marley (full name - Robert Nesta Marley) was born in the small village in Jamaica. He was not only a great musician, but also an active Rastafarian. The unique character of his works is reached by the combination of genius of music and true love to people and God. Bob Marley is an outstanding person in the world history of music.
