Bob+Marley+and+The+Wailers

In the 1970's The band Bob Marley and the Wailers were well known in Jamaica, but not so much internationally. In 1972 they signed with a big music company called Island Records. The Wailer's first album, **Catch A Fire** broke all the rules: it was beautifully packaged and heavily promoted. And it was the start of a long climb to international fame and recognition. One of their records called Burnin' has a song called "Get Up Stand Up", which is a very inspirational song and one of my favorite songs form The Wailers. In 1976 they finally broke into the American Charts, with their album Rastaman Vibration.
