I'm touring right now and you'd be surprised to see all of the kids that come to the concerts just to see Rita Marley because it's Bob Marley's wife. I might do three or four of Bob's songs in my repertoire and they go crazy.

Rita Marley

I grew up in Oregon, so there was always a lot of that folksy, Bob Marley stuff. There was a mural of Bob Marley on a wall at my high school.

Mat Kearney

I remember when I was 14, I went to race in Hungary, and I went to a concert, and they were playing Bob Marley songs, and I thought, "Wow, this guy is so special." It's Marley every time.

Usain Bolt

I love Bob Marley's music. The only person I really listen to. A little bit of Shabba Ranks sometimes, but I mostly listen to Bob Marley.

NLE Choppa

I always give the example, if you turn on the radio today, black radio, Lenny Kravitz is not black. Bob Marley wasn't black: in the beginning, only white college stations played Bob Marley.

Spike Lee

I've been a big Bob Marley fan forever. Forever. Like big, huge. Bob Marley and the Beatles, that's my big, giant music influence. I can listen to them all the time.

Eddie Murphy

Being Bob Marley's son has done many things for me, in terms of having a career in music. I'm very proud of my music, and I'm very proud of where I'm from. People hear that I'm Bob Marley's son, and they turn on my music to listen just out of curiosity.

Damian Marley

But can a song stop a war? If Bob Marley and Bob Dylan couldn't do it, it can't be done.

Henry Rollins

I'm not Bob; there will never be another Bob Marley; nobody can compete, including myself.

Rita Marley

I'm part Maori. My mum's Maori, and she raised me. And my grandma, she's Maori.

Jemaine Clement

At the University of Miami in the U.S., people thought I was there only because I was Bob Marley's son. I had to prove myself on the football field and soon earned the respect of my peers.

Rohan Marley

I love Mac Miller. I'm a big Drake fan. I love Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Bob Marley.

Christian McCaffrey

I don't know if music has ever achieved anything past appealing to the people that it appeals to. If a song could stop a war, then Bob Marley and Bob Dylan songs would have stopped one or two.

Henry Rollins

That's the best way to feed the human mind. That's how Bob Marley did it. He never put it in your face. After you got the groove, you were just singing the hooks, because you thought it was cool.

Wyclef Jean

I like Bob Marley.

Rob Ford

The big change was reggae and hip-hop, which came along after Split Enz had started. When Bob Marley first visited New Zealand, he lit a fuse that is still burning very brightly. The Maori people particularly honor reggae music in a very big way. So there is a strong reggae scene and a strong hip-hop scene, especially among Samoans. There's still plenty of quirky stuff around. No one expects to make much money here, so it definitely does encourage an underground sense.
