JAMAICA: An unlocated photo taken in 1976 shows Jamaican reggae star Bob Marley, who died 11 May 1981 at the age of 36 at Cedars Sinai hospital in Miami following a cancer.
Bob Marley's musical legacy may be waning 30 years after his death as Jamaica's youth prefers dancehall to reggae, but the singer remains a cult, if highly commercialized, figure.
Marley has become a merchandiser's dream, with everything from shoes to snowboards bearing his image, but his friends say it would be tragic if his message of justice for the oppressed gets lost to corporate greed.
