Bob
Marley was born on February 6th, 1945. The legendary reggae star, best
known for such exceptional hits as “Could You Be Loved,” “One Love” and
“Three Little Birds” would have celebrated his 66th birthday this year.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Universal Music Enterprises and Tuff Gong Records team up to present Bob Marley & The Wailers – Live Forever: The Stanley Theatre, Pittsburgh, PA, September 23, 1980. This never before released 2 CD concert was recorded 30 years ago while Bob was touring in support of his famed album, Uprising. Live Forever features many of Bob’s most cherished songs. Live Forever
also immortalizes his final concert, and the last song Bob ever
performed in concert: his rally cry for equality, “Get Up Stand Up.”
Available on CD for the first time, unforgettable performances of “No
Woman No Cry,” “Jammin'” and “Is This Love,” to name a few, appear on
this incredible audio documentary depicting an innovator and inspiration
to people of many generations.

“Bob’s music
has always conveyed a message of hope, unity and love. It has brought
countless people together as it did that night 30 years ago in Pittsburgh.
To hear that music today and to be able to share it with a new
generation shows that Bob is as relevant today as he was 30 years ago,”
says Rita Marley.
