BOB MARLEY's Only House In AMERICA Was In Delaware

[@talbirdietv]

Bob Marley owned a home in Miami. He bought it in the late 70s. It is still owned by the Marley family today....

[@kommercialkings]

Exactly, and bought other properties here in Miami

[@incognitoblack9431]

I thought the same 💭 🤔....

[@duodusamuel3627]

We thank Jah

[@fivestarFAMe]

He bought that house for his mom he never lived there he only lived in Delaware

[@Ushouldknome]

He only lived and worked in Delaware . He was a fork lift drive and lab assistant . He never lived in the Miami house

[@oldmoneyswag6504]

We have a Bob Marley festival every summer on the Riverfront in Wilmington and it gets packed!!!

[@deva19xx]

Yes indeed it does look forward to it every year

[@kenetterobinson2109]

Bob was a friend of mine I played drums for him two times over South Bridge on Heald st about 1976and he had a Afro It was about 4of us in the back yard jamming yeah we had big fun too ✊🙏💯 God Bless All Of Us 🙏🙏🙏💯

[@gtsehafe8168]

Interesting stuff!

[@simplybeautifullandscaping5895]

@kenettlerobinson2109 Wow what a privilage must have had a great time

[@motheraphrikah9415]

Yes ❤

[@terronbrooks1801]

Didn’t know anything about soccer till I met the Marley family at that park when I was younger!!! And his family still sits on the porch with the mural!!! All of them are nice loving and caring!!! Till this day I can open my front door and the park is right there!!!Facts and one love!!!!

[@iraidaroane5534]

I remember the house so well growing up. Everyone in the hood knew that that was Bob Marley's house and we gave it the respect deserved!

[@oldmoneyswag6504]

All my life I remember it. Like I was telling him. Most of us that grew up on the Northside in Wilmington knows about that.

[@africangirl189]

😂😂 sounds funny you gave the house the respect it deserved 😂

[@motheraphrikah9415]

Facts

[@trinawright959]

Love this ❤️ I'm born and raised here in Delaware... I've known for years that Bob Marley/ mother lived and worked here... Fun fact.... His son Stephen was born and raised here for a few years before they moved back to Jamaica

[@karenbennett5841]

My friends in Philadelphia had a band called the House of Assembly… they were brothers (last name Bailey). When Bob was in Delaware, they used to go to his Mother’s house and jam with him. I saw Bob perform in Philly in 1979, I missed him at Sunsplash in JA (had to come home). Everyone stood on their folding chairs throughout the performance! The audience ranged from the Jamaican elders to young rockers to children. Every age group, color… it was a phenomenon. I am so blessed to have seen him perform. (I also saw Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown, Toots and the Maytals, Third World on other occasions.) Thanks for the tour. Timothy White wrote a great book called “Catch A Fire” about Bob’s life.

[@conniephillips8217]

I absolutely love Bob Marley! Such an incredible life he lived and influenced so many people. A great humanitarian, songwriter and writes activists in Jamaica. He brought his love of music to the world. I have always wanted to visit his mausoleum in Jamaica but have never had the chance. I'm up in years now, but still rock out to Bob Marley! Thanks Jordan for bringing him and a small slice of his life in America to us!

[@illmerica322]

Hey GM Jord, Bob Marley will always hold a special place in my heart as my Dad always told me the first song that I would sing as a child was "3 little birds", so the first song I ever knew word for word was by Bob Marley, so I guess you could say he birthed my love for music as young as a baby!!

[@naomifox9337]

Thanks for sharing. I love his music never get tired of it. Rest in peace bob marley

[@matthewseeber8529]

It's a real shame he never truly got see just how much his music he himself was loved and adored by future generations

[@ms.georgiannagrantham132]

Like 43... Thanks for sharing. I did not know this about the man. WoW!! You are good at what you do. Keep up the good work. Safe traveling. From NYC. ALSO, I Shared your story on Mae West with my brother-in-law. He loved it!!! 💝

[@mainowlin6176]

Wonderful video of Bob Marley”s life in the USA.

[@maryruggiero2884]

I agree, Jordan, Bob Marley was probably the most sincere artist of the 20th century! I love him, too. Very real...you could feel his vibe from far, far away.

[@jaycedoesroblox8028]

Thank U for this video - I am 74 and a big Bob Marley fan - I never new he once lived in Delaware - I guess that is because they hardly ever talk about his mother. Thanks again for that piece of history.

[@duhansherriffe5138]

I didn’t know either

[@laurastrobel718]

Bob is one of my favorites along with George Harrison. Back in 2013 I bought a special edition of Rolling Stone dedicated to Bob. There was a photo of George visiting Bob backstage at a concert in LA in the mid 70s, very cool. Didn't know Bob had lived in Delaware. Thanks so much Jordan, hope you, Jah and your goal have a great day❤️🌄🐶🌈

[@charlenepingitore8889]

I lived at 2323 Tatnall. Played with his sister Pearl. Did a sleep over and also his mother took me to their church picnic. Pearl did the pie eating contest. I remember playing in the alley way. Her father was a sweet man. Her mother was the sweetest. Im surprised you didn’t cover his mothers music store on Market St. Of course she sold Bobs music and a lot of Jamaican music. The park always had kids. We did the free games the councilors offered. Hearns was the grocery store and a corner store called Pickles. Closed on Sundays. Ty for the video. Memories flooded me.

[@tcleary4822]

Pearl is well I was with her in Jamaica last week

[@JeanineMarieCompassion]

This is completely amazing! Thank you once again Jordan!

[@ThePresentTimeNow]

Thank you for covering Bob Marley. I also want to mention that when referring to our hair, it’s LOCS and not DREADS. There isn’t anything dreadful about our hair. Just a helpful tip for future reference.

[@latanyayoung8512]

Yes, thank you! I have got in arguments explaining to ppl where the word dreads came from.

[@rambey5945]

Exactly

[@africangirl189]

It's dreadlocks 😂

[@alhagiedaffeh5539]

For the info locs and dread are all the same, pal.

[@debra7449]

Really, The People that I know still call them dreads, and they are black. 🤔 dreads is short for dreadlocks. That how they say it in America, I don’t know where you’re from. 😂 and sometimes people call them locs too. You need to educate yourself a little more, you sound like you are from a younger generation.

[@deva19xx]

My family and I love Bob Marley. I live here in Delaware (use to live around the corner from his house) and played in what was then tatnall street park (One Love Park) my grandson who is now 5 also love his music even before he could talk (around 5 months ) he would remove his pacifier from his mouth trying sing and dance whenever he heard his music playing 😅

[@ibukunilevbare9170]

Your baby knows and Indentify the truth " mouth piece"

[@denisesmith2745]

I love you, Jordan and Jah… My really bad day became better because of you and Jah

[@colleenhenry8022]

I heard he had a home in Delaware, been listening from the early Ska days with them singing "Let Him go", "Simmer Down", and more!

[@barbarawillis5187]

I was born and raised in Wilmington. I am amazed at the unique architecture of the working class houses throughout the city. Beautiful little city depressed in the working class neighborhoods by political decisions. Today, Bob Marley's One Love is played on a radio station regularly here in San Diego.

[@misslady582]

I just wish the gun violence wasn't so rampant. Makes it super hard to enjoy any outside space. We have entire parks that rarely get used. The city has been keeping them clean and repaired but it's no use when families don't feel safe.

[@2011Savere]

I didn't know Bob Marley lived in Delaware. This is a good find.

[@jadecarey4433]

Being half white and black and being raised by my black family I understand the feeling of being "different" there's this feeling of not being white enough to fit in and not being black enough to fit in. Especially since I'm so light skinned. I love bob!!

[@kay-marie1076]

In Jamaica the light-skinned people were loved more than the dark-skinned people. The light-skinned people were treated better. So that's probably what it was like in USA but in Jamaica 🇯🇲 the mixed-race people were treated better and most people were and still jealous of them. I know my family is Jamaican and mixed.

[@nbitsme1629]

I'm black and I don't feel black enough

[@leahvasquez2623]

I am mixed race Jamaican mother and white Puerto Rican father with a little bit of African and native heritage on his side too but I ended up with the black blood with sickle cell in it and ended up the whitest looking. Life has been weird to say the least

[@thisisHowHedidit]

Wow, I didn't know he lived in Wilmington, DE!! I love this!! I used to live and work in Dover, DE. And my 10 yr. old daughter was born there!!

[@high16200]

Oh! thank you sir for nice documentary about bob marley. I am his fan and I was lucky enough to see his live concert in Sweden, Stockholm in 1976, yes! it was an incredible moment. Very kind of you to show the places of his youth this is a rare story. Thanks again 🙏🙏

[@alancumming6407]

Another really interesting, well researched and educational Vlog - shamefully we had no idea Bob Marley lived in America prior to his career taking off. We also appreciate you took the time to stop at the McKinley memorial and filmed by the river. Wilmington looks like a really interesting and historic city.

[@antoniotiberi1569]

Thanks for visiting our state. Greetings from Claymont Delaware. 15 minutes away from Bob Marley’s home.

[@mwhitehall889]

Hey Jordan, You were right in my home town. I have passed by his house years ago. Yes, he worked for DuPont and Chrysler. He left such a legacy behind, so many children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc. I believe the singer/actor Lauren Hill has a child by one of his grandson's. Mostly all his children are in the music/actibg business. I once worked with a woman who's husband is his first cousin, their mom's were sisters. I'm impressed that you visited Delaware. It has changed very much since Bob Marley's days. Good job.

[@carabeck]

She has 5 kids with Rohan Marley the son of Bob Marley.

[@glossycoautomotivedetailin7145]

Lauren hill was married and had kids with his son not grandson.

In 1980 I had recently moved to Pittsburgh and planned to go to his concert at the Stanley Theater. Couldn't find someone to go with so I bailed. Found out years later it was his last concert and have regretted my decision ever since.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Wow...

[@moonybay38]

Your factual accounts of The Rt. Honorable Robert Nesta Marley is incredible. His has other siblings that are part of the upper echelon of society in Jamaica and they disassociated themselves from him. When he became famous that is when we knew there were other Marleys. Incredible man, a modern day Prophet..he left a great legacy behind. He is still revered in Jamaica.🇯🇲❤ His children carries on the tradition. Big up Bob!!💕

[@ruthjesse6759]

The area facing the Brandywine River is called Happy Valley. Saw Bob Marley and Janis J several times in concert. I have lived in Wilmington for 72 years and ran the bar scene and concerts from Philly to Washington. Totaled my car after a Three Dog Night concert. Remember them.

Jordon, Thank you as always. Again, the research you put into each episode is both phenomenal & interesting. I really, really appreciate the way you read and give the viewer enough time to read the memorial plaques that different places put up. Some other channels I've noticed may just fleetingly show a sign about someone quickly, leaving the viewer unable to read it. Plaques offer so much pertinent information. Thankyou as always & safe travels for yourself & Sir Jah. Kind regards from Adelaide, South Australia.

It’s well worth the trip if you can make it.
