For people of the different ages the Bob Marley legend has different meaning, and they vary from peaceful love to melancholia. Some people connect him with superior reggae ' inspiring music with meaningful lyrics, others think of him as a part of their own search for self, and still others connect him mostly with deep and true love. The legend of Bob Marley still lives with those who remember him, and remember how it started with him and was only because of him.

The legend has his name because Bob Marley was the one who actually made it in the conformist society of those days by first getting there, finding his place to fit into that specific social environment, playing by their rules, wearing their clothes and hairstyles. Afterwards he managed to grow and evolve both in a spiritual and a physical aspect keeping in mind all the dreads, but following his own ways in philosophy as well as in religion and in the general attitude as well as in the very words.

It is Bob Marley legend because he managed to bring reggae music to the non-African and non-Jamaican population of the world and made them love it as it was their own inborn spiritual legacy. He showed people the everlasting backbeat that goes along with the wailing soft words like 'No Woman, No Cry' and 'Is This Love'?'

Being qualified as the all-time finest reggae leader, Bob Marley is the person who made Rastafari be accepted and respected as a righteous life-principle and a real movement. And he managed to reach that goal with the help of 'Rastaman Vibration ' that he instilled into the quiet spiritual sound of 'Haile Salassie' and curving up the rough sounds of rock. He managed to show people a different way to reach God.

Finally we can say Bob Marley legend because no matter where we were, what we were doing, what we were trying to get, or to escape from, he was always there, always ready to help and support us with his music and his words spreading his great spirit all over telling us that what we really need is just love, respect, unity and spirituality. Bob Marley helped all of us to' stir it up', to 'put it on' and to 'rock it baby', there was also encouragement in his words with 'pass it on' with 'stand alone' and with 'keep on moving'. All he did actually tell us through his music was that we should try living our lives according to our and to God's rules. He taught us to know what our rights are and to never quit until we get them granted and then use them properly.
