Bob Marley, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Art Tatum: 3 Musicians, What They Had in Common

Bob Marley, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Art Tatum left behind a great body of work, which people in the field have learned from. Each of these three men had a great impact on music. I’ve been creating profiles in wisdom for over a year now, so I decided to start grouping people I have profiled into logical groups, in this case musicians, to see what lessons I might glean by looking at them collectively.
