Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley, OM (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He was the rhythm guitarist and lead singer for the ska, rocksteady and reggae band Bob Marley & The Wailers (1963–1981). Marley remains the most widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited with helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a worldwide audience.
Marley's music was heavily influenced by the social issues of his homeland, and he is considered to have given voice to the specific political and cultural nexus of Jamaica. His best-known hits include "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Could You Be Loved", "Stir It Up", "Get Up Stand Up", "Jamming", "Redemption Song", "One Love" and, "Three Little Birds", as well as the posthumous releases "Buffalo Soldier" and "Iron Lion Zion". The compilation album Legend (1984), released three years after his death, is reggae's best-selling album, going ten times Platinum which is also known as one Diamond in the U.S., and selling 25 million copies worldwide.
Catch a Fire, released on 13 April 1973, is the fifth album for Jamaican reggae band Bob Marley & The Wailers, and the first the band released on Island Records. Although unsuccessful, the album's supporting concert tour throughout England and the United States helped establish the band as international stars.
Catch a Fire peaked at number 171 and number 51 on Billboard's 200 and Black Albums charts, respectively. The album has received critical acclaim, including being listed at number 123 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, the second highest placement of the five Bob Marley albums on the list, after the posthumous compilation album Legend. It is also regarded as one of the top reggae albums of all time.
Around the time JAD Records collected 72 of the greatest Marley tracks, businessman Danny Sims made a deal with Johnny Nash to produce the film Want So Much To Believe in Sweden, while Sims asked Nash to write some songs for the soundtrack. Nash and Marley therefore worked together. Marley moved to Sweden and began to tour successfully through Europe. Subsequently, Sims asked Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer and the Barrett Brothers to join Marley's band The Wailers. When the musicians arrived in England, their backing band was unprofessional. In London, the Wailers discovered that Sims and Nash had left the city for Miami, Florida to work on their next albums. The Wailers had to postpone tours, and Marley had financial issues. The band asked promoter Brent Clarke in the hope that he would help them. Clarke contacted Chris Blackwell from Island Records, who had released many Wailers singles in Great Britain. He then promised Clarke an advance of 8000 pounds for their next album, and Clarke lent the Wailers some money for their way back to Jamaica.
