people's evaluation

bob marley has created a folk art, a folk form. His life is a legend, rich and happy but he died young. Childhood in slums left a mark on Marley's heart, making him a spokesman for the people, especially the poor workers, and an anti-racism fighter. He comes from the third world and talks with developing countries. He is not only a musician, but also a philosopher and a prophet. With his inner magical beliefs, sincere feelings and superb skills, he successfully integrated this art form into the world art and won everyone's love. (Comments by Manley and MacDonald)
