Bob Marley would, and indeed, should have turned three quarters of a century today.
He died a tragically early death in 1981, aged just 36.
5ft7.
RIP Bob Marley XXX 🕯️🎶😢

Hey Rob while looking online I found some info on Bob's fathers height.
Click Here
Check it out it says he was only 5ft 5 which means Bob had close to 2 inchs on him. Do you feel most men grow taller than there father's ? I'm 5ft 8 and my own father was 5ft 4 peak and his father was 5ft 3.

Editor RobA percentage will grow taller, another percentage shorter.
I think access to good food/medicine means there will be greater chance of reaching potential in last few generations compared to some periods of time.

Editor RobI think it may be a possibility, but I wouldn't go over it.

Hey Rob do you think theres any chance at some point he might mesaure in the low 5'7 ranges maybe 5ft6.75 ? From some live stage videos I've watched he does a lot to look very close to 170cm

Editor RobI wouldn't go above 5ft 7 range, but then don't think he was just 5ft 6 flat either.

After seeing pics of him in his early wailer days I'd put him at bang on 170cm. Seems in some pics he's slouching a little can make him look slightly smaller

Looks a good shout for him definitley looks a low 5,7. What would you have guessed his weight at Rob ? Maybe between the 135-140 range he looked to always be in good shape quite lean.

Editor Rob I think he could look as short as 5ft 6, but maybe at times near 5ft 7.

6'3" for Marley?! Yeah, Marley would have just be a bit under average I guess.

George Harrison told a fan he was 5'9 or 5'10 I think he's a solid 5'9 I think Marley is 5'7.25

I'm of the opinion that Harrison topped out around 5'9.25" whereas his bandmates John and Paul were no more than 5'10", possibly more 5'9.75", at peak.

Thanks for the addition!
Some bios such as this claim that he was as low as 5'4".

But Marley doesn't look that much shorter than George Harrison.

Marley with Peter Tosh, who've read was only six feet tall, hate to know how short the other guy was.
