At the beginning, the band was called The Teenagers, The Wailing Rudeboys, The Wailing Wailers and at the end, they chose The Wailers. The band broke up in 1974 when three main members (Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston) decided to embark on solo careers. All of them reached considerable success especially Bob Marley who rose to fame as Bob Marley and the Wailers as backing band and with I Trees as backing vocalists.
