Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley (February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981) was a

Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician. He was the lead singer, songwriter


and guitarist for the ska, rocksteady and reggae bands The Wailers (1964–
1974) and Bob Marley & The Wailers (1974–1981). Marley remains the most
widely known and revered performer of reggae music, and is credited for
helping spread both Jamaican music and the Rastafari movement to a
worldwide audience.[1]
Marley's best known hits include "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry",
"Could You Be Loved", "Stir It Up", "Jamming", "Redemption Song", "One Love"
and, together with The Wailers, "Three Little Birds",[2] as well as the
posthumous releases "Buffalo Soldier" and "Iron Lion Zion". The compilation
album, Legend (1984), released three years after his death, is reggae's best-
selling album, being 10 times Platinum (Diamond) in the U.S.,[3] and selling 20
million copies worldwide.

Liza May Minnelli (born March 12, 1946) is an American singer and actress of
film, stage and television. She is the daughter of entertainer Judy Garland and
film director Vincente Minnelli.
After studying at the New York High School of Performing Arts and the Herbert
Berghof Studio, Minnelli first attracted attention for roles in the musicals Best
Foot Forward and Flora the Red Menace which garnered her the Theatre World
Award in 1963 and the Tony Award in 1965 respectively. Already established as
a nightclub singer, and character actress in the movies The Sterile Cuckoo and
Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon, Minnelli rose to international stardom for
her appearance as Sally Bowles in the 1972 film version of the Broadway
musical Cabaret, a role that brought her the Academy Award for Best Actress.
While film projects such as Lucky Lady, A Matter of Time and New York, New
York were poorly received, Minnelli found herself as one of the most versatile,
highly regarded and best-selling entertainers in television, beginning with Liza
with a Z in 1972, and on stage in the Broadway productions The Act and The
Rink. From the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, headlines focused on her health
problems, alcoholism and drug abuse, but Minnelli found new prominence with
international concert tours and appearances such as Liza Minnelli: At Carnegie
Hall, Frank, Liza & Sammy: The Ultimate Event and Liza Live from Radio City
Music Hall.
