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".

Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children cryin' (one love)
Hear the children cryin' (one heart)
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin' let's get together and feel all right
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (one love)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinners
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?
One love, what about the one heart, one heart
What about, people, let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (one love)
So shall it be in the end (one heart)
All right! Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right, one more thing
Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (one love)
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (one song)
Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation
Sayin', one love, what about the one heart? (one heart)
What about the, let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleadin' to mankind (one love)
Oh, Lord (one heart) whoa
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right
The song "One Love / People Get Ready" by Bob Marley & The Wailers is a classic message of unity and peace that urges its listeners to come together in love and harmony. The lyrics emphasize the power of one love and one heart, to overcome hate and division. The opening lines "One love, one heart, let's get together and feel all right" conveys the message of peaceful co-existence among all humans in the world. The "children crying" could be a metaphor for the people all over the world who are suffering from poverty, wars, or discrimination, and the message to "give thanks and praise to the Lord" is a call to respond with empathy and understanding for each other burdens.
As the song progresses, it turns to highlight the importance of forgiveness over judgment, and the need to come together as one despite our differences. The verse "Let them all pass all their dirty remarks, there is one question I'd really love to ask, is there a place for the hopeless sinners who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?" delivers the message of letting go of judgment and learning to forgive each other despite our differences.
The song concludes with a call for action, by urging people to come together to fight against Armageddon, the end of the world, as it is only through unity that we can overcome such disasters. The song's message of peace and unity has been inspiring generations for more than four decades now.
