WE JUST HEARD BURNING SPEAR. NOW HERE'S BUNNY WAILER. Bunny Wailer ( b Neville O'Riley Livingston April 10 1947, also known as Bunny Livingston) is a Jamaican singer songwriter and percussionist and was an original member of reggae group The Wailers along with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. A three-time Grammy award winner, he is considered one of the longtime standard-bearers of reggae music. In May 1973 the Wailers performed at The Paris Theater in London England. The concert was broadcast by BBC Radio 1's "In Concert" program. Around this time Chris Blackwell, the owner of Island Records (the Wailers' label) remarked that the Wailers would play "freak clubs" on the upcoming portion of their American tour. Bunny, always the spiritual side of the Wailers' triangle did not like the sound of this and returned to Jamaica, never to perform again with the Wailers. He subsequently embarked on a solo career to worldwide acclaim. Boderation was originally both a 7" and 12" single in 1983. THIS IS A VERY GREAT SONG!
