The Name Robert Nest Marley (OC) Bob Marley Born February 6 1945 in Nine Mile St Ann to father Norval Sinclair Marley and Mother Cedella Booker is Legendary on a Global Scale and with the exception of Usain Bolt is the Most Famous Jamaican to have ever lived. 
When the question as to who the greatest Reggae Artiste ever is, comes up,10 out of 10 times the name given will be Bob’s and rightly so. No other Reggae Artiste has made the impact he had and continues to have on the world stage. No other Reggae Artiste has attained the lofty heights in which he is held and as to whether or not any ever will is a debate for another time.
It begs the questions though, would Bob have become so great had he still been alive, what would his journey have been like, how would history have seen him, that however is all a matter of conjecture now though.
With the emergence of Dancehall and it now practically overshadowing Reggae in Jamaica, the current band of Reggae practitioners struggles to compete with their dancehall counterpart for relevance in a Changing Country, with the exception of Chronixx and as such the next Bob Marley may never been seen or not anytime soon anyways.

It might surprise you though that not every single Jamaican are of the view that Bob is the most gifted or talented Reggae Artiste this wonderful little island has produced and the numbers might surprise you.
With that been said I will name four Artiste who some might argue were more naturally gifted musicians and though they may never have become as great as or greater than Bob, they had the potential, skills, tools and talent, that combined with the right grooming, management and promotion might have rivaled Bob’s Fame and success Internationally.
These four Artistes are Jacob Miller, Dennis Brown, Garnett Silk and Peter Tosh. 
Before I proceed let me state for the record and for purpose of clarity, I am not questioning bob’s greatness, it would sacrilegious of me to do so, this is just me asking what if and what might have been. So what if Jacob Miller, Dennis Brown, Peter Tosh and Garnett Silk were still alive, what might have their journeys and story be like today, what might they have achieved?
