In 1966, Marley married Rita Anderson, his children are: Ziggy Marley, Damian Marley, Stephen Marley, Ky-Mani Marley.
Bob Marley was raised as a catholic but later became a Rastafarian. The Rastafari proscription against cutting hair is based on the biblical Samson, who as a Nazirite, was expected to make certain religious vows, including the ritual treatment of his hair as described in Chapter Six of the Book of Numbers.
In 1963, he formed the music group THE WAILERS which skyrocketed his career. The Wailers later disbanded in 1974. Bob Marley released his solo album “Exodus”in 1977. The album Exodus has hit songs like "Waiting in Vain", "Jamming", and "One Love".
