During 1970 and 1971, Wailer, Marley and Tosh worked with renowned reggae producers Leslie Kong and Lee "Scratch" Perry.
They released four albums before signing to Island Records in 1972. Two more albums were created before Tosh and Wailer left the band in 1974, citing grievances over label treatment and ideological differences. Marley carried on with a new line-up, including the I-Threes that put out seven more more albums. Marley died in 1981.
The Wailers were a groundbreaking ska and reggae group, noted for songs such as "Simmer Down", "Trenchtown Rock", "Nice Time", "War", "Stir It Up" and "Get Up, Stand Up".

Cette chanson vit le jour en 1965 avec le producteur Coxsone. C'est une gentille ballade dans laquelle on retrouve des extraits du psaume 23. En 1976, elle fut exhumΓ©e de nouveau pour l'album "Rastaman Vibration". Et sur "Songs Of Freedom", on peut y trouver une interprΓ©tation de 1971 Γ la guitare acoustique avec laquelle figure quelques autres bijoux de l'Γ©poque.
