Bob Marley is best known for being a symbol of world peace and tolerance along with his ultimate goal to live a serene lifestyle through Rastafarian-inspired reggae music, a genre of music for which he is seen as the pioneer. The Jamaican singer created his music by blending reggae, ska, rocksteady, and superior vocals into his creative style.
