Bob Marley & The Wailers foi uma banda de reggae criada por Bob Marley em 1974, depois de Peter Tosh e Bunny Wailer terem abandonado a banda que a antecedeu, The Wailers. Os irmãos Carlton (bateria) e Aston "Family Man" Barrett (baixo) - músicos da banda de estúdio de Lee "Scratch" Perry, The Upsetters - que se haviam juntado aos Wailers quatro anos antes, optaram por continuar a acompanhar Marley.
Bob Marley & The Wailers consistia no próprio Marley como guitarrista, compositor e vocalista, e da Wailers Band como banda de acompanhamento, além das I Threes no backing vocal. A Wailers Band incluía, além dos irmãos Barrett na bateria e baixo, Junior Marvin e Al Anderson na guitarra solo, Tyrone Downie e Earl "Wya" Lindo no teclado e Alvin "Seeco" Patterson na percussão. O I Threes consistia na esposa de Bob Marley, Rita Marley, e de Judy Mowatt e Marcia Griffiths.
Robert Nesta Marley, mais conhecido como Bob Marley F- nascido em Nine Mile, a 6 de Fevereiro de 1945, e falecido em Miami, a 11 de Maio de 1981 - foi um cantor, guitarrista e compositor jamaicano: o mais conhecido músico de reggae de todos os tempos, famoso por popularizar o género. Marley já vendeu mais de 75 milhões de discos. A maior parte do seu trabalho abordava os problemas dos pobres e oprimidos. Levou, através de sua música, o movimento rastafari e as suas ideias de paz, irmandade, igualdade social, preservação ambiental, libertação, resistência, liberdade e amor universal ao mundo. A música de Marley foi fortemente influenciada pelas questões sociais e políticas de sua terra natal, fazendo com que o considerassem a voz do povo negro, pobre e oprimido da Jamaica. A África e osc seus problemas como a miséria, guerras e domínio europeu também foram centro de assunto das suas músicas, por se tratar da terra sagrada do movimento rastafari.
Hoje pode ser considerado o primeiro e maior astro musical do Terceiro Mundo e a sua maior voz. As suas músicas mais conhecidas são " I Shot the Sheriff "," No Woman, No Cry"," Could You Be Loved "," Stir It Up "," Get Up, Stand Up "," Jamming "," Redemption Song "," One Love/People Get Ready "e," Three Little Birds ", e tambem lançamentos póstumos como " Buffalo Soldier "e" Iron Lion Zion ". A coletânea "Legend", lançada três anos após a sua morte e que reúne algumas músicas de álbuns do artista, é o álbum de reggae mais vendido da história. Bob foi casado com Rita Marley (de 1966 até à sua morte), uma das I Threes, que passaram a cantar com os Wailers depois que estes alcançaram sucesso internacional. Rita foi mãe de quatro dos seus doze filhos (dois deles adoptados), os renomados Ziggy e Stephen Marley (lê-se Stivân), que continuam o legado musical do seu pai na banda Melody Makers. Outros dos seus filhos, Ky-Mani Marley, Julian Marley e Damian Marley (vulgo Jr. Gong) também seguiram carreira musical. Foi eleito pela revista Rolling Stone o 11º maior artista da música de todos os tempos.

Bob Marley & the Wailers
Could you be loved
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved and be loved?
Don't let them fool ya
Or even try to school ya! Oh, no!
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell, if what you're thinking is not right!
Love would never leave us alone
A-yin the darkness there must come out to light
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?
(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too
So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)
Love your brotherman!
(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?
Could you be - could you be loved?)
Don't let them change ya, oh!
Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!
We've got a life to live
They say: only - only
only the fittest of the fittest shall survive
Stay alive! Eh!
Could you be loved and be loved?
Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?

No matter how you treat him, the man will never be satisfied)
