Bob's Birthday

Today marks the anniversary of the icon Robert Nesta Marley's birthday.

Longtime readers know I'm a Bob fan & it is only right that I have a Bob post for today.

Bob Marley contributed greatly to reggae music, paving the way for many artistes.

His name is synonymous with feel good music while his face is one that adorns countless tees.

Not to be degraded to just irieness and fashion, Bob Marley was a conscious artiste whose music speaks on the issues of society while pushing positivity.

Robert Nesta Marley is a great Jamaican figure who is adored by millions.

He is a role model and inspiration for many musicians, not just those of the reggae genre.

His legacy lives on through his music, his children & grandchildren.

Blessed Earthstrong Bob!

Take a listen to The Heathen performed live by Bob Marley & The Wailers.

Check out Bob's trademark denim suit and the head wraps of the I-Threes as well.

Enjoy =)

Worn Free?

I was on Concreteloop and I saw a story about a t-shirt company called Worn Free producing tees with designs first worn by Bob Marley.

Y'all know I love me some Bob Marley and I think the idea is great but then I saw this pic

Spartan Health Club is a gym in Jamaica and I'm just wondering if they are getting any of the proceeds from this particular t-shirt being sold or if they even agreed to it.
I just found it a little hilarious that they were making a tee with that design on it because people are going to be snatching that up for $45 because Bob had a tee like it when someone in JA has one stored in their "yaad clothes" pile.

I-Threes

I'm always posting randomness about Bob Marley so this post is dedicated to his back up singers, the lovely ladies known as the I-Threes.

The I-Threes consisted of Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths.
You know the saying "Behind every great man, there's a great woman." Well Bob had 3!
Accompanying Bob's songs with their sweet vocals, moves that made you want to move with them and they had/ still have a mean wrap game.

Enjoy =)

Blessed Earthstrong

I'm late on this post but yesterday was Bob Marley's Birthday.








My own lil Bob pic (haha)
My twists are out, after 4 weeks of having them in. I missed my fro.
I took them out Thursday evening and I snapped that pic right after pulling them out and detangling a bit with my fingers and Vatika oil. My hair was loc'd up!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BOB!

Irie

I was watching Bob interviews the other day and saw him in this tam.

Strum

This is Mara Hruby's rendition of Bob Marley's "Is This Love."

Not a fan of the remake. Didn't do it justice but I'm biased because I'm a huge Bob fan. You have to come 500% correct and then some when redoing his work. Also Is This Love is my fave song from him.

BUT

Mara has a wonderful voice. Very smooth and reminiscent of days gone past.

I'm posting the vid because it is a good video. Her look is very cute and I absolutely love her hair.
