Today marks the 76th birthday of a musical legend and one of our heroes, Bob Marley. Through his music, with songs such as “One Love,” “Three Little Birds,” and “Get Up Stand Up,” he gave millions of people around the world hope and inspired them to believe in a better tomorrow. Marley’s lyrics shed light on the human condition; speaking of love and unity, but also of suffering. Now, 40 years after his death, the challenges of the human condition still exist and are very much prevalent in today’s society—one of the reasons his music is and will remain timeless.

“Bob Marley is one of the greatest musicians in the world and has the great ability to inspire people in every race, culture and economic status.”

-Mark Johnson, PFC producer and co-founder
