Bob tragically died of cancer in 1981, at 36, and is widely considered one of the pioneers of reggae music. The late star had 11 children with seven different partners.
While Bob was known as the king of chill, one of his 11 children, Ziggy, previously admitted his father could be a tough parent because he was aware of the 'danger' of life in Jamaica.
He said:
"Growing up in Jamaica in the 1970s could be dangerous. There were guns everywhere. But as a kid the danger felt exciting. Every day was an adventure. I did not understand the seriousness of the situation."
