\n
\nFrom 1973 to 1980\, \;Bob Marley &\; The Wailers \;recorded\, toured\, and performed before countless millions worldwide. Since 1981\, Familyman and Junior have carried on the mission to &ldquo\;keep The Wailers together\,&rdquo\; just as Bob requested\, affirming: &ldquo\;By doing that\, you keep me alive through the music.&rdquo\; \;
