The. WailersBob Marley and the Wailers were a pivotal Jamaican reggae band active from 1963 to 1981, initially known as the Wailing Wailers. Founded by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer, the group evolved through various styles, including ska and rocksteady, releasing significant albums like "Catch a Fire" and "Exodus." After the departure of Tosh and Wailer in 1974, Marley continued with a new lineup and achieved major success before his death in 1981.
