He's one of the greats that died far too young and someone that's always getting played on my iPod....

I like Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, and most reggae, really. Well, his music lives on, I think I prefer on concentrating on peoples' lives rather then when they died.

Im a big reggae fan still partial to a bit of bobs music now and again

I've always found it odd people of note being remembered by the date of their death. I always thought it more appealing celebrating someone's life by their birthday.

I always find it poignant that great peoples deaths are rememberd, Don McLean wrote some great songs celebrating peoples lives, ie American Pie (Buddy Holly), Starry Night (Vincent van Gogh).
I don't find it at all morbid Neale that you take time to let us know about these anniversaries

Shame he died so young, but his music lives on.
