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".

The Ten Commandments Of Love
Bob Marley & The Wailers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thou shalt never love another
And stand by me all the while
Take happiness with the heartache
And go through love wearing a smile
Oh, how happy we will be if we keep the ten commandments of love
Oh love
Thou shalt always have faith in me
In everything I say and do
Love with all your heart and soul
Until our life on earth is through
Oh how happy we will be if we keep the ten commandments of love
Love, oh sweet love
It's oh, oh so grand
You will find since the beginning of time
It has proved throughout all the land
So come to me when I am lonely
Kiss me when you hold me tight
Treat me sweet and gentle
When we say good night
Oh, how happy we will be if we keep the ten commandments of love
Oh, love
Oh, how happy we will be if we keep the ten commandments of love
(spoken) The Ten Commandments of Love
The Ten Commandments Of Love, a classic doo-wop R&B song with reggae flavor, is an ode to love that highlights the essential aspects of a successful and long-lasting relationship. The song's lyrics are divided into ten commandments, or rules, that a couple must follow to keep their love alive. The first two commandments emphasize faithfulness, urging the listener to never love another and always stand by their partner. The third commandment advises the listener to take happiness with the heartache and wear a smile throughout their romantic journey, reminding us that no love story is without its ups and downs.
The fourth commandment emphasizes faith in each other's words and actions, while the fifth exhorts the listener to love their partner with all their heart and soul until their life on earth is through, indicating the permanence and depth of their love. The remaining commandments advise the listener to be tender and loving towards their partner, through hugs, kisses, and gentle treatment. Throughout the song, Paul Marley, the songwriter, reminds us that if we follow all of these ten commandments of love, we will be incredibly happy.

Only real Bob Marley fans know that song,what a song,it was on the early music album
@tamarasmith509
How many people know this song? One of my favorite from Bob and the Wailers.
@billywatson8551
This song as well as It Hurts to Be Alone helped me gain a much greater appreciation of how The Wailers had a tremendous foundation of what would become Bob's later music. Plus it helped me discover the solo offerings of Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston. Unfortunately Bunny passed away at the beginning of this month. RIP

Bob Marley loved Doo wop Doo wop never dies
@tulifuli2
Notice how Bob sung a fixed lyric of the Moonglows hit credited to M. Paul on the Early Music LP. ] Thy" was corrected to "thou." The Moonglows original Ten Commandments of Love only had nine commandments, count 'em, what an embarassment !. It ended "when we say good night" Bob sang a tenth commandment: "And always do me right," Sung here as "And always do right."
