When Bob Marley, Bunny Livingston (Wailer), and Peter McIntosh (Tosh)entered the studio and began recording Catch a Fire in 1972, they had already established an impressive track record on the island of Jamaica. But when they signed to Chris Blackwell's Island label, their music reached a new level. While reggae music had not been tremendously popular at this time, The Wailers proved their style of reggae was strong enough to carry a full-length album.

  • The Wailers were intimidating and a contradiction. They had created a mystique. Yes, they were militant, but also very spiritual. They sang sweet harmonies, but would shout,moan, and wail for the lost sheep. Fame&Fortune were not their desire. They wanted to tear down walls, expose evil, convey truth, and share universal love.

  • That's Mortimer Planno and He's in his late 80s there, has since fallen asleep in the Lord. He aint no freek, he shook hands with H.I.M.EmperorHaileSelassieI, and is a prophet of Jah!!!

  • All these IDIOTS talking about how they "made" Bob Marley important... Are you Fking kidding me? Bob would have been Bob with or without them wiping his ass. This video is like the the benchwarmer's take on Reggae. Could happily do without it, and I will from henceforth. Thanks for posting.

  • AFRICA UNITE !!!!!

    Bob Marley is a Prophet of the Most High... i consider him a Prophet, and the Wailers of the 70's are the greatest band of the XX century...hands down, noone can compare!!!!

  • The Wailers are POLITE violence!!

  • To Anonymous white person- In response to your comments regarding Mortimer Planno,who you said was a "freak and retained to much water",It seems you retained to verbal diarrhea and will forever suffer from it.Or in laymans terms,you TALK NOTHING BUT SHIT YOU FUCKING IGNORANT FOOL.

    No wonder you want to stay anonymous.

    Hate these idiots who hide behind their computers/internet to make worthless comments.

  • Bob Marley's mentor at 1:38 looks like a scurrilous grotesque freak, a Monster.
