“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”

Those were the sentiments of Bob Marley, a man who believed that music had the power to bring us all closer together in peace and unity. Even if you are not a fan of reggae, you still know who Bob Marley was and chances are that you still like a few of his songs. Marley took a new and innovative sound that was mostly confined to the concert halls and radio waves of Jamaica and used it to create music that became not only international but timeless.
