About Bob Marley & The Wailers
The Wailers formed in Kingston in the early 1960s with Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, recording ska for Studio One with hits like 'Simmer Down' and later working with producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry. Catch a Fire in 1973 was their first album for Island. After Tosh and Bunny Wailer left in 1974, the group was billed as Bob Marley & The Wailers, starting with Natty Dread.
The later band was built on the bass and drums of brothers Aston 'Family Man' Barrett and Carlton Barrett, with the I Threes, Rita Marley, Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt, on harmonies. Live! from 1975 carried the definitive version of 'No Woman, No Cry'. Marley died in 1981, and the compilation Legend, released in 1984, became one of the best-selling reggae records ever made.
