In 1963, he founded The Wailers alongside Marley and friend Peter Tosh, who they met as mentees of &#8220;Godfather of Reggae&#8221; Joe Higgs. The trio would go on to release early hits like &#8220;Simmer Down,&#8221;  and by 1972, they signed with Island Records and released singles like &#8220;Get Up, Stand Up,&#8221; and &#8220;Stir It Up.&#8221;  Their 1973 major-label debut <i>Catch A Fire<\/i>, and its follow-up <i>Burnin<\/i> from the same year, launched them to international fame, but as the group&#8217;s then-manager Chris Blackwell sought to re-brand The Wailers as a backing group to Marley, both Wailer and Tosh left in 1974. <\/p>\n<p>            Wailer would go on to release solo hits like &#8220;Dreamland,&#8221; &#8220;Crucial,&#8221; and &#8220;Cool Runnings,&#8221;  releasing nearly 40 albums over his seven decade-spanning career. Wailer&#8217;s last album, <i>Dub Fi Dub<\/i>, was released back in 2018. Over the years, he would take home the Best Reggae Album Grammy three times: <i>Time Will Tell: A Tribute to Bob Marley<\/i> in 1991, <i>Crucial! Roots Classics<\/i> in 1995, and <i>Hall of Fame: A Tribute to Bob Marley\u2019s 50th Anniversary<\/i> in 1997.<\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>            Wailer has been recognized multiple times by the Jamaican Government for his contributions to the nation&#8217;s music history, receiving an Order of Merit in 2017 and the Reggae Gold Award in 2019.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-220532\" class=\"content_block paragraph video triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bunny Wailer - Dreamland\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1jfoScCnjRY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('220532');\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-220534\" class=\"content_block paragraph video triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BUNNY WAILER - COOL RUNNINGS\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MRsLtcsFGW4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('220534');\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-220535\" class=\"content_block paragraph video triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"fluid-width-video-wrapper\" style=\"padding-top: 56.25%;\">\n<p>    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bunny Wailer - Crucial\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_mTlpOuKJQM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n \/\/trackYouTubeVideo('220535');\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Sajae Elder<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
