And this weeks celebrity in the Love Light Spot Light, is the man who introduced Reggae music to the world, Loss Legend and celebrity Aquarius, Bob Marley.
Here are a few factoids you may not have known about Bob Marley:
He was born to interracial parents, his father was European - Jamaican of British heritage and his mother was African-Jamaican.
His birth name is Nesta Robert Marley and his first but a Jamaican passport official mistakenly switched around his first and middle name to Robert Nesta Marley.
He was born February 6, 1945 on his maternal grandfather's farm in Nine Mile, Saint Ann Parish, Jamaican. And later, after marrying his wife Rita Anderson in 1966, he moved to the United States for a short while in Wilmington, Delaware to be near his mother who had moved there earlier.
While living in Wilmington, Delaware he worked for DuPont as a lab assistant and on the assembly line at Chrysler under the alias name, Donald Marley.
He was raised a Catholic by his mom and converted to Rastafari in the 60's after moving away from his mother's influence in Wilmington, Delaware back to his homeland Jamaica.
Bob Marley, his wife Rita and his manager Don Taylor suffered gunshot wounds from an assassination attempt on his life on December 3, 1976 and he still showed up to perform for the concert he was preparing for two days later called, Smile Jamaica, organized by the Prime Minister of Jamaica at the time, Michael Manley.
At the end of 1976 Bob Marley left Jamaica and lived in England for 2 years in self-imposed exile.
Although Marley was a devout Rastafari for several years, on November 4, 1980 shortly before his death, he was baptised into Christianity by Archbishop Abuna Yeseshaq of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Kingston Jamaica.
He was awarded the Peace Medal of the Third World from the United Nations in 1978.
In February 1981, just a few months before his death, he was awarded Jamaica's third highest honor, the Jamaican Order of Merit making his official name and title Nesta Robert Marley OM.
Bob Marley died on May 11, 1981 in Miami after a long battle with a form of cancer called melanoma that had spread throughout his body including his lungs and brain which was the cause of his death.
Long after his death he continued to receive accolades and awards for his legendary contributions to music which included a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in February 2001.
In 2004 he was ranked number 11 on Rolling Stones list of 100 Greatest Artist of All Time.
Bob Marley...a loss legend who's memory will always be honored and his music will always be an Inspirational Love Note to the hearts and minds of generations still yet to come.
In closing, enjoy this video to one of his most popular songs to date, One Love, that was named song of the millennium by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) and a perfect song with a perfect message to also honor both Black History Month and Valentines Day today.
