Who was Bob Marley's wife from 1966 until his death?
Answer
Rita Marley
Answer
Rita Marley
Bob Marley’s wife from 1966 until his death was Rita Marley.
Rita, born Alfarita Constantia Anderson, married Bob Marley in Kingston, Jamaica, on February 10, 1966. She remained his wife until his death on May 11, 1981, and is widely known as the widow of the Jamaican reggae singer.
She was also a musician in her own right. Rita belonged to the vocal group the I Threes with Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt, and the trio became the backing vocalists for Bob Marley and the Wailers during the group’s international rise.
Rita and Bob had three children together, and Bob adopted children from Rita’s earlier relationships. The other names in the choices are fellow singers associated with Jamaican music: Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths were members of the I Threes, while Cindy Breakspeare was a former Miss World and a partner of Bob Marley, not his wife.
