Bob Marley-Cool singer

Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta:
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arriving, fighting for survival

When I hear this song, I used to get on dancing movement. I just love the melody of this song, music is great. This is a song sang by the my favorite artist Bob Marley. I am great fan of boy Marley because when I don’t know about English music at my childhood, the wording of bob marleys’ music used to catch my attention a lot. He is a slow singer and it makes me easy to catch his song.
