The Failers Failures

In 1972, The Wailers got their big break since they signed with Chris Blackwell’s Record. They produced their first album, Catch a fire. It was considered as one of the first genuine reggae albums. The same year a second album Burnin came with new fresh songs like ‘Get up Stand up’ and ‘I shot the Sheriff’ Eric Clapton released a cover late and it hit the US #1. This helped the group earn worldwide acclaim along with popularity. Despite that achievement, Bunny and Tosh decided to leave the group. However, Marley formed the band ‘Bob Marley and The Wailers’ with his wife Rita, Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt, a female group called The I- Threes. By October 1974, the group released an album entitled Naty Dread, one of it’s tracks ‘No Woman No
Cry’, became a worldwide hit.
