"Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley

Never been a big reggae fan, and rarely do such acts crossover to the Top 100 chart. But there are some artists who simply transcend their musical genre and create art that virtually everyone enjoys and appreciates. Bob Marley had this magical touch in abundance.

Despite his legendary stature, Marley only had a single chart appearance in 1976 when "Roots, Rock, Reggae" managed to crawl its way to #51. He has a remarkable catalogue of songs that nearly everyone knows, but none of them landed on the charts.

Which makes it really difficult to pick one to highlight. After long deliberations, I settled on "Three Little Birds." Released in 1977, it is among six songs Marley has secured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a favorite go-to song when I need to chill.
