About The Wailers
Bob Marley and the Wailers
Bob Marley formed his band in 1963. First, its name was The Teenagers, then The Wailing Rudeboys, The Wailing Wailers and, finally, The Wailers. Until the early 70’s The Wailers were not known outside Jamaica. Everything changed after the Island Records released their 1973 album Catch a Fire. The same year, they launched Burnin’; and a year later the album Natty Dread, featuring an unmatched No Woman, No Cry. In 1974, the band split, and all the members began a solo career. A year later, the group changed its name to Bob Marley and The Wailers.The Wailers Band
