In recent years, the word ‘legend’ has become increasingly overused, whether to describe a mildly successful sports star or fleetingly well-known musician. However, in truth, there are few individuals truly deserving of the praise.

We explore his faith and spirituality, as well as his revolutionary message, and discover how they shaped the man and his music and won over legions of fans around the world.

Filled with iconic imagery and fascinating insight, we also delve into his best loved albums with track-by-track breakdowns of the likes of the ground-breaking Catch a Fire and the mighty Exodus. So sit back, crank up the volume and enjoy the story of the legend himself, Bob Marley.
