Geschichte
The Wailers wurden 1963 als The Teenagers gegründet. In der Folge wurde die Band mehrmals umbenannt: erst The Wailing Rudeboys, danach The Wailing Wailers und schließlich The Wailers. Die Gruppe bestand zur Zeit ihrer Gründung 1963 aus sechs Sängern: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Livingston, Beverly Kelso, Junior Braithwaite und Cherry Smith. Kelso, Braithwaite und Smith waren also nur an der ersten Hitsingle Simmer Down (1964) beteiligt, bevor alle drei die Gruppe 1965 verließen.
1974 verließen Tosh und Livingston die Band, um ihre Solokarrieren zu starten. Darauf wurde die Band von Produzent Chris Blackwell in „Bob Marley & The Wailers“ umbenannt und es bildete sich das Hintergrundgesangstrio I-Threes: Rita Marley, Marcia Griffiths, Judy Mowatt. Zudem wurden einige Musiker zur Band hinzugefügt.
Auch nach Marleys Tod 1981 setzten die Wailers ihre Touren fort; seit 1963 bis heute hat die Band mehrmals immer wieder Wechsel auf fast allen Positionen durchgemacht, ist aber immer noch aktiv auf Tour und spielt auf ihren Konzerten vor allem die alten Lieder von Marley. 1987 wurden Carlton Barrett und Peter Tosh erschossen.

To be fair, it's not a wholly retroactive practice. Lee Perry did it with Soul Rebels and Soul Revolution in the early 70s, pre-Island. I know Bunny and Peter weren't too happy with that, which is entirely reasonable.

I'm not really mad about it. I just dislike renaming bands retroactively for various reasons. I feel it diminishes Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer's key involvement in the original setup. Also, it's revisionist so you're rewriting a part of history that may be lost or in danger thereof. The Wailers existed for a decade before their breakup so renaming puts everything under the umbrella of Bob Marley (the brand). It's comparable to attributing all Jackson 5 albums to "Michael Jackson and the Jackson 4". And yeah, labels are here to make money. But commercialising Bob by turning him into a brand that can be slapped on sneakers I daresay you strangle the revolutionary, religious, empowering, and emancipatory aspects of his (and by implication the early Wailers albums his name is now slapped on too) music.

it is smart for a record label to label everything "bob marley" they are in the business of MAKING MONEY...how can u be mad at that? they are not in the business of making music...artists are. and to label everything bob marley also brings the wailers more exposure many ppl know bob....fewer know the wailers...so in essence...the wailers gain fans from this as well....everyone wins....the "business" side makes more money...the music doesn't change and the fanbase grows as some familiar with bob...are now enlightened to what the wailers brought to the table....why u gotta hate?

Anything that came out before Natty Dread should be labeled The Wailers, He didn't start recording under the name Bob Marley and the Wailers till Peter and Bunny left the group. [4] Agreed, trouble is that Island Records, the Marley Estate, and every other label and its grandmother want to capitalize by slapping 'Bob Marley' on every release Bob was near. Because shoes and coffee mugs simply don't cut it.
