"Catch a Fire" (Bob Marley & The Wailers)
Happy Birthday to the other Bob, Robert Nesta Marley (February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981). Certain songs still pierce me, make my blood tingle, even after thousands of replays. Such a powerfully distinct voice, transcending the genre he popularized, reggae. Died much too young, much too young (36 years old). My favorite Bob Marley albums are still the ones that included Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, but every Marley album I own has an honored place in my musical pantheon.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
"Natty Dread" (Bob Marley & the Wailers)
"Burnin'" (Bob Marley & The Wailers)
