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".

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing' don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying, (this is my message to you)
Singing don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing don't worry (don't worry) about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying, this is my message to you
Singing don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh
Every little thing gonna be alright, don't worry
Singin' don't worry about a thing, I won't worry
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright, I won't worry
Singing, don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright
Singing don't worry (worry) about a thing, oh no
'Cause every little thing gonna be alright

Nonsense
We unlike the DISRESPECTFUL VIDEO that displays a #RASTAFARIAN MAN as a Pig in what is being claimed as the official video
Bob Marley wouldn’t eat, touch, or portray himself as a pig it’s VEHEMENTLY against that is good & Holy to the man & to Rastafarian’s the world over
Could only be done by a Whyte cultural appropriator because they DONT truly KNOW & RESPECT the CULTURE yet seek to claim OWNERSHIP and RIGHTS to it .. !!!
The CAU-CACITY of it all
