"Bob Marley & The Wailers" (1974 – 1980).

Bob Marley was often part of a band, and is occasionally attributed with music that was written, sung or produced by other notable musicians.[clarification needed] Much of his music was recorded with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, who together with Marley were the most prominent members of The Wailers. In 1972, Bob Marley had his first hit outside Jamaica when Johnny Nash covered his song "Stir It Up", which became a U.K. hit. The 1973 album, Catch a Fire, was released worldwide, and sold well. It was followed by Burnin' which included the song "I Shot the Sheriff", of which a cover version by Eric Clapton became a hit in 1974.
