Paramount Pictures recently shared an interesting video on their YouTube channel featuring American footballer Odell Beckham Jr. talking about his admiration for reggae icon Bob Marley. This one-minute promotional clip sets the stage for the upcoming release of Bob Marley: One Love on February 14.
Although there is no single Jamaican singer who can be credited for creating reggae, listeners recognise Bob Marley as the father of the genre. “You can’t listen to his music and not feel good,” says the American footballer about his relationship with Marley’s music. If you’re a newbie and want to tap into Bob Marley’s music, here are some tracks you can start with:
-Redemption Song - This acoustic masterpiece is a poignant reflection on freedom, emancipation and the struggle against oppression.
-One Love/People Get Ready - Combining Marley’s call for unity and harmony with the classic gospel tune People Get Ready by Curtis Mayfield, this song is a celebration of universal love and understanding.
-No Woman, No Cry - This soulful ballad captures empathy and comfort during challenging times. Marley’s heartfelt vocals and nostalgic lyrics resonate with those who have experienced hardship or loss.
