THE SMALL AXE

Bob Marley and the Wailers (BMW) was a Jamaican reggae band 1974-1981 lead by Rastafarian Bob Marley (1945-1981). It is the most prosperous reggae band ever with +75 million record sales, known for songs like “One Love”, “I Shot The Sheriff”, “Natural Mystic”, “Stir It Up”, “No Woman No Cry”, “Exodus” and “Get Up Stand Up”.

Bob Marley’s third album for Island Records “Natty Dread”, released in October 1975, was the first credited to Bob Marley and The Wailers; the harmonies of Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer were replaced with the soulfulness of the I-Threes, Rita Marley, Marcia Griffiths and Judy Mowatt. Bob Marley and the Wailers, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer all enjoyed considerable success as reggae music continued to gain popularity during the 1970s and 1980s. One of the last performances that included Marley was in 1980 at Madison Square Garden.
