Bob Marley: Peter Tosh

At the age of 16, Bob released his first song called "Judge Not" which did not do too well. But Bob was not discouraged. In 1965, Bob formed a group called the Wailers with Bunny Livingstone (Bunny Wailer) and Peter McIntosh (Peter Tosh). Bob wrote most of the songs. In 1971 the Wailers finally got a break. Island Records forwarded them 8,000 British pounds for a full album profit.

Between 1968 and 1972, Bob and Rita Marley, Peter McIntosh and Bunny Livingston re-cut some old tracks with JAD Records in Kingston and London in an attempt to commercialize The Wailers' sound. Livingston later asserted that these songs "should never be released on an album … they were just demos for record companies to listen to."

Bunny Wailer was a founding member — with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh — of the Wailers, the legendary reggae band. Bunny, the last survivor of that core trio, will perform opening day at the 21st annual Reggae on the River Festival in Piercy, Calif., Aug. 6-8. Reggae on the River, a DVD of past festival performances, is out this week. TIME's Christopher John Farley spoke with Bunny.

When Braithwaite and Kelso left the group around 1965, the Wailers continued as a trio, Marley, Tosh, and Livingstone trading leads. In spite of the popularity of singles like “Rude Boy,” the artists received few or no royalties, and in 1966 they disbanded. Marley spent most of the following year working in a factory in Newark, Delaware (where his mother had moved in 1963). Upon his return to Jamaica, the Wailers reunited and recorded, with little success, for Dodd and other producers. During this period, the Wailers devoted themselves to the religious sect of Rastafari.
