Today JamCham honors Bob Marley (Robert Nesta Marley), Jamaican singer, songwriter and musician. Marley achieved several great accomplishments during his lifetime, including serving as a world ambassador for reggae music, earning induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, and selling more than 20 million records. Decades after his passing, Marley's music remains widely acclaimed. His musical legacy has also continued through his family and longtime bandmates; Rita Marley continues to perform with the I-Threes, the Wailers and some of the Marley children. Marley's commitment to fighting oppression also continues through an organization that was established in his memory by the Marley family: The Bob Marley Foundation is devoted to helping people and organizations in developing nations. . . . .
