Marley remembered!

EVEN BEYOND the grave, Bob Marley is one
of reggae's most influential artistes to date.
He is especially known across the world for
his hit, One Love, from the album Legend
which has become an unofficial anthem
for Jamaica.
However, before that, there were other hit
songs that sealed Marley's fate as an
international icon.
In 1975, three years after Marley and the
Wailers were signed to Island Records, they
release the album Natty Dread which had the
single No Woman Nuh Cry which hit the UK
charts.
The following year they released Rastaman
Vibration and in 1977 they released Exodus
which spent 56 weeks on the British charts.
But Marley wasn't done yet. He later came
with songs like Get Up, Stand Up,
Turn Your Lights Down Low and
Woman Hold Your Head and Cry.
Marley's songs have over time garnered more
attention than most current hits.
According to the Record Industry Association
of America (RIAA), his album Legend has sold
more than 10 million copies in 11 years on the
top pop charts.
The only other album on the pop charts that
has served longer is Dark Side of the Moon
by Pink Floyd.
There have been more than 10 compilations
of Marley's songs so far and people have
taken it one step further by sampling his
songs. Lauryn Hill was recently featured in
Turn Your Lights Down Low and
Woman Hold Your Head Up High has
been sampled and used in a re-release
of a Notorious B.I.G . single.
And of course his son, Damian
'Junior Gong' Marley on his album
Welcome To JamRock has sampling from
his father's catalogue.
Songs used include Pimpers Paradise
and Exodus.
There seems to be no end to this
Marley's legacy.
