Bob Marley & The Wailers
There is so much to saw about this Super Group, it's almost unfair to write about The Group, when the Top Three Artist in this Band has Solo careers that could out weigh there work done in The Wailers. Bob Marley more than did his thing, Peter Tosh has a tremendous body of work, and Bunny Wailer has amongst is accolades: Writer and Producer of the song the Electric Slide done by Marcia Griffiths. Then there are the former Back up Singers and Band mates who are just as great. After Johnny Nash funded some of there early works, they ended up backing him up on one of the Greatest Songs ever I Can See Clearly Now. Their Baselines has influenced many; their Songs a wash the Globe. The Music is more informative than any review could be, Please have a wonderful day and take a listen: Coming in from the cold , Stir it up , Could you be loved , Concrete Jungle and Get up, Stand up
