The band that played on a bunch of the big hit albums including both live albums has several members alive and well. It's the very early lineup who have all passed on.

Just so everyone didn't think the Catch a Fire, Exodus and Rastaman Vibration band was all dead. Oh and "Live!" and "Babylon By Bus" those great live slabs, the band is not all dead.

I was just watching several documentaries on Bob Marley and The Wailers last week as my neighbor across the hall gave me a Bob Marley CD, so that was the first time I have read the wiki files all about them

RIP Bob, Bunny, Peter

Maybe they're on the far shore, singing Dreamland. (written and lead vocal by Bunny)

There's a land that I have heard about
So far across the sea
To have you on my dreamland
Would be like heaven to me ...

...Oh, what a time that will be
Oh yes, we'll wait, wait, wait and see
We'll count the stars up in the sky
And surely we'll never die
And surely we'll never die...
