Background of Robert Nesta Marley
Robert Nesta Marley also called Bob Marley was born in Nine Miles, St. Ann, on February 6, 1945, to Cedella Malcolm and Captain Norval Marley, who was attached to the British Regiment. A child of an inter-racial marriage of black and white parents, Marley soon suffered the loss of his father who succumbed to constant pressure from his family regarding the marriage. Notwithstanding the separation, the Captain continued to provide financial assistance, though he seldom saw his son. Marley’s mother later migrated to Kingston with her son, in the 1950’s, and settled in the inner-city community of Trench Town. At age sixteen, Marley started his musical sojourn. It was in Trench Town that he formed friendships with Neville Livingston (Bunny Wailer), and subsequently Peter Tosh, whom he met at the famous singer’s Joe Higgs’ music class, which he held for aspiring inner-city youth.
In 1963, Marley, Wailer and Tosh, along with Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso and Cherry Smith, started the group the Wailing Wailers, under the direction of Producer Clement Coxsone Dodd, of the Kingston based, Studio One recording company. Along with other singles, the group produced the hit record ‘Simmer Down’, which stayed on the local music chart for two consecutive months. Shortly after however, Cherry and Braithwaite left the group. The group continued to record, and later released the singles: ‘I’m Still Waiting’, ‘Rudie’, and ‘One Love’.
It was during this period that Marley met Rita Anderson, whom he married in February 1966. He later migrated to the USA where he spent eight months. He used the opportunity to earn enough money which he put towards his musical career.
