This week I wanted to study Bob Marley. I have always had such an appreciation for reggae music, and have enjoyed listening to Bob Marley songs with my grandfather my whole life. 

Bob Marley is a Jamaican singer and songwriter. With over ten studio albums, Marley is known as the true face or “pioneer” of the genre of reggae. 

I chose the song “Is This Love”, which is one of my grandfather’s favorite Marley songs. Released in 1978, Marley sings about wanting to know what love feels like. I really love the sweet calmness of his voice, but the passion he holds behind his words. The steady off-beats give this song the classic reggae feel, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
