Two decades after his death, Bob Marley's immensity put him one of the greatest transcendent figures of the century. The ripples he did cross the river of his music into the ocean of politics, ethics, philosophical style, and religion (Rastafaria). Bob Marley was incorporated into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. Time magazine chose Bob Marley & The Wailers Exodus as the 20th century album. 

In 2001 she won a Grammy Lifetime Achivement Award. that same year the documentary film about his life was made by Jeremy Marre, Rebel Music, nominated for The Best Long Form Music Video documentary at the Grammies, as well as awards for several other categories. With contributions from Rita, The Wailers, his fans and his son, the film tells of Marley, who also accompanied Marley's own words. 

In the summer of 2006, New York City rewarded Bob Marley by naming the church journey from Ramsen Street to East 98th street in eastern Brookliyn by naming "Marley Boulevard". And there are many more that Bob Marley gets. 


The life story of Bob Marley is an archetype, that's why his works are eternal and continue to echo. Bob Marley speaks of political repression, his metaphysical and artistic insights, his welfare and anything that annoys him. "No Women No Cry" will still continue to wipe away the tears from the face of a widow "Exodus" will still emerge a knight, "Redemtion Song" will still be a cry of emancipation to fight against all tirrani, "Waiting in Vaint" will remain exciting, and "One Love "will continue to be an international hymn for the unity of humanity in the world beyond boundaries, beyond beliefs, where everyone will be aware and learn.

Bob Marley is not just a music star, most of whose record breaks the international record, but he also becomes a moral and religious figure. In addition to Bob Marley we also have to admit that many musicians are superior to instrumental discoveries, vocal style musical compositions, but Bob Marley can make us see thousands of Hpi people from Mexico, Maori from New Zealand, gathered each year in his honor.

Many fans around the world imitate his dreadlock hair style because fanatic although not a few also mimic dreadlock Bob Marley because affected by voyeurism, when in fact dreadlock Bob Marley as part of his faith will Rastafarian, not from culture or from celebrity idol. the figure of Bob Marley is much identified with marijuana, whereas marijuana is a ritual as well as part of the teachings of Rastafarians and Bob Marley is adherents. It is natural that he consumes, makes the verse, and sings it.
