1945 - Robert Nesta Marley is born in St. Ann, Jamaica to Captain
Norval and Cedella Marley. He will become a successful singer
along with his group, The Wailers. Bob Marley and The Wailers
were among the earliest to sing Reggae, a blend of Jamaican
dance music and American Rhythm & Blues with a heavy dose of
Rastafarianism, the Jamaican religion that blends Christian and
African teachings. He will join the ancestors in 1981 at the
age of 36, succumbing to cancer. As a result of his
accomplishments, he will be awarded Jamaica's Order Of Merit,
the nation's third highest honor, (April, 1981) in recognition
of his outstanding contribution to the country's culture. He
will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.
1950 - Natalie Cole is born to Nat "King" and Maria Cole. She will
follow in her famous father's footsteps and become a recording
star. She will become a Grammy Award-winning singer, and Best
New Artist in 1975.
