Wyclef Jean Bob Quotations

Bob Marley stood for universal peace and love. He tried to break racial barriers.

When I first heard Bob Marley I was 12 years old. I had just come to the United States from Haiti, and was living in the Marlborough Houses in Brooklyn.

When you throw on a Bob Marley record, it's nothing but lighters up in the air. All the thugs in the dance are just going calm down. I don't know no other artist that you can throw in the middle of a dance like that.

I picked up that whole vibe, and I'm moving toward the future with it: the vibe of Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Curtis Mayfield, that type of thing. Because I'm a musician. I think that my duty is to put out music.

A lot of my music is very reggae- driven. Half of my life Bob Marley was all I listened to.
