BlueBeat.com Presents 'Marley Immortal' A Tribute to Bob Marley

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of Bob Marley's 60th birthday and his impact on music and social politics, BlueBeat.com announces "Marley Immortal," the newest of the popular "Killer Playlists" offered on the free online digital music service. Bob Marley was the first artist from a third world country to have a global impact both politically and musically, and now BlueBeat listeners can take a musical journey through Marley's career, from his humble youth in Kingston, Jamaica to the international phenomenon of mainstream Reggae. Compiled from BlueBeat.com's vast library and streamed online at CD-quality, "Marley Immortal" pays tribute to the lasting legacy of Bob Marley.

Although his life was cut short by cancer in 1981, his extraordinary talents will live on, as will his heartfelt vision of world unity in the haunting vocals and candid lyrics he left behind. Very few musicians have had the social and musical impact that Bob Marley was able to achieve in a relatively short career. "Bob Marley brought reggae music to the forefront of the world stage, but his most powerful contributions extend far beyond his albums," states Hank Risan, BlueBeat.com's CEO, "He was able to transcend personal suffering in order to empower people as a whole. His image and impact can be found in every corner of the globe; he is a true international icon."

In 1999 Time Magazine named Exodus Album of the Century, and the artist was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. In 2004, Marley's acclaimed 1975 song "No Woman, No Cry" was ranked by Rolling Stone as one of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time." Bob Marley's musical contributions coupled with his social vision afford him a well-deserved reverence for generations to come.

The "Marley Immortal" playlist contains Marley originals, covers, and songs of tribute by artists of many genres and decades. At BlueBeat.com it is free to join and free to listen to over 340 handpicked playlists at perfect audio quality. What better way to honor a musical legend?
