  • Bunny Wailer, also known as Bunny Livingston (born Neville O'Riley Livingston, April 10, 1947, Jamaica), is a singer songwriter and percussionist and was an original member of reggae group The Wailers along with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. He is widely regarded as a musical legend and is considered one of the longtime standard bearers of reggae music. He has been named by Newsweek as one of the three most important musicians in world music. Bunny Wailer and Bob Marley were raised in the same household as brothers. Bunny's father Thaddeus "Toddy" Livingston lived with Bob Marley's mother Cedella Booker and had a daughter with her named Pearl Livingston. As he was by some way the least forceful of the trio, he tended to sing lead vocals less often than Marley and Tosh in the early years, but when Bob Marley left Jamaica in 1966 for Delaware, to be replaced by Constantine "Vision" Walker, he began to record and sing lead on some of his own compositions, such as "Who Feels It Knows It", "I Stand Predominant" and "Sunday Morning". His music was very influenced by gospel and the soul of Curtis Mayfield. In 1967, he recorded "This Train", based on a gospel standard for the first time at Studio One. As the Wailers moved from producer to producer in the late 1960s he continued to be underused as a writer and lead vocalist, although he sang lead on "Riding High", and on one verse of the Wailers' Impressions-like "Keep On Moving, both produced by Lee Perry. By 1973, each of the three founding Wailers operated their own label, Marley with Tuff Gong, Tosh with H.I.M. Intel Diplo, and Bunny Wailer with Solomonic. He sang lead vocals on "Reincarnated Souls", the B-side of the Wailers first Island single of the new era, and on two tracks on the Wailers last trio LP, "Burnin'", "Pass it On" (which had been cut as a sound-system only dub plate five years earlier) and "Hallelujah Time". By now he was recording singles in his own right, cutting "Bide Up", "Arab Oil Weapon" and "Life Line" for his own label. Bunny Wailer toured with the Wailers in England and the United States, but soon became reluctant to leave Jamaica. He and Tosh became more marginalized in the group as the Wailers became an international success, and attention was increasingly focused on Marley. Bunny subsequently left the Wailers to pursue a solo career, which continues in the present. After leaving the Wailers, Bunny became more focused on his spiritual faith. He identified with the Rastafari movement, as did the other Wailers. He has also written much of his own material as well as re-recording a number of cuts from the Wailers catalogue. Bunny Wailer has recorded primarily in the roots style, in keeping with his often political and spiritual messages. The album Blackheart Man is a good example of his roots reggae style, while "Sings the Wailers" successfully reworks many of The Wailers songs with the backing of top Jamaican musicians, Sly and Robbie. He experimented with disco on his album 'Hook Line & Sinker'. He has also had success recording in the typically apolitical, more pop dancehall style. He has outlived his contemporaries in a culture where death by violence is commonplace. Bunny Wailer was both the quietest and most spiritually creative of the Wailers. However, he also had a dancehall/Rockers edge that was best exemplified by the album "Bunny Wailer Sings the Wailers" in which he re-interprets some of the Wailers material as a solo Roots singer backed by a solid Sly & Robbie based Roots reggae grouping. The album was produced Bunny Wailer, recorded at Harry J studies. Some of these tracks are re-worked classic Wailers tracks (e.g. Dreamland - first recorded in 1970 with Lee 'Scratch" Perry and released as a 7" in 1971 with a U-Roy version on the B -Side). Another classic is Dancing Shoes, first recorded in the early 1960s as a driving Ska/Soul classic with Bunny Wailer as lead vocal. Bunny Wailer has won the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album in 1990, 1994 and 1996. Today, Bunny resides in Kingston and on a farm located in the interior of Jamaica (Saint Thomas), according to Bob Marley's official website. Bunny Wailer and Beverley Kelso are the only surviving members of the original Wailers.
  • Bunny Wailer bzw. Bunny Livingston ist ein jamaikanischer Reggae-Musiker. Neben Bob Marley und Peter Tosh war er das dritte ständige Mitglied der (frühen) Wailers, d. h. er gründete sie mit Bob, bevor Peter dazustieß. Bis zur Trennung der ursprünglichen Wailers 1973/74 kamen und gingen viele verschiedene Musiker, doch Bob, Peter und Bunny waren seit der Gründung 1963 konstant dabei. Gemeinsam sorgten sie für zahlreiche Erfolge wie Trenchtown Rock, Nice Time, Stir It Up oder Get Up Stand Up.
  • Bunny Wailer es cantante, compositor y percusionista, nació bajo el nombre de Neville O'Riley Livingston el 10 de abril de 1947 en Jamaica. Es uno de los miembros originales del grupo de reggae The Wailers, junto con Bob Marley y Peter Tosh. Estuvo de gira con The Wailers en Inglaterra y los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica, pero pronto toma una posición adversa a dejar su isla. The Wailers iba adquiriendo difusión internacional y la atención se centraba en Marley, mientras Wailer y Tosh pasaron a ocupar un lugar cada vez más marginal en el grupo. Bunny y Peter dejaron entonces The Wailers para proseguir carreras solistas. Fueron reemplazados por I Threes, lo que constituyó una movida para ensanchar la base de éxito para los Wailers en el mercado no jamaiquino. Después de dejar los Wailers Bunny se enfocó más en su fe. Se identificó con el movimiento rastafari, como los otros Wailers. Después de haber fallado en la producción de discos por su propia cuenta, co produjo una cantidad de sus grabaciones. Escribió gran parte de su material y regrabó muchos cortes del repertorio de los Wailers. Bunny trabajó en principio en el estilo Roots reggae, transmitiendo usualmente sus mensajes políticos y espirituales. También le fue bien grabando en el más popular y típicamente apolítico estilo Dancehall. Bunny Wailer ganó el premio Grammy al mejor álbum de Reggae en 1990, 1994 y 1996. Hoy vive en Kingston.

  • Dopo Burnin' i Wailers vanno in tour negli Stati Uniti ed in Inghilterra, nonostante Livingstone sia abbastanza rluttante a lasciare la Giamaica. Con il successo internazionale del gruppo lui e Peter Tosh vengono oscurati da Bob Marley, su cui si concentra quasi tutta l'attenzione. Dopo il tour Bunny lascia il trio e comincia la sua carriera solista. Dopo aver lasciato i Wailers Livingstone focalizza maggiormente la sua produzione sul lato spirituale, cominciando a identificarsi nel movimento rastafari. Registra brani soprattutto del genere roots reggae, con testi politicamente e religiosamente affiliati al movimento. L'album Blackheart Man è un ottimo esempio del suo roots reggae, ma sperimenta anche altri generi come la disco nell'album Hook Line & Sinker e successivamente la dancehall apolitica, riscuotendo un buon successo. Nel 1990, 1994 e 1996 vince il Grammy Award come Best Reggae Album.

  • Bunny Wailer, ook bekend als Bunny Livingston, geboren als Neville O'reily Livingston is een Jamaicaanse rootsreggae-artiest. Hij is vooral bekend geworden omdat hij bij de oorspronkelijke Wailers zat. Neville O'reily Livingston werd geboren op 10 april 1947 in Kingston, de hoofdstad van het eiland Jamaica. Hij hield erg van voetbal, en maakte van afval, samen met zijn vrienden Bob Marley en Peter Tosh, gitaren. Samen begonnen ze een bandje, The Wailers, vernoemd een verhaal uit de bijbel. Ze brachten 2 albums uit; Catch a Fire, met de hit Stir it up, en Burnin´, met hits als I Shot The Sheriff en Get Up, Stand Up. In 1975 verlieten Peter Tosh en Neville Livingston, inmiddels beter bekend als Bunny Livingston, de band. Ze wilden een solocarrière beginnen, omdat Marley vrijwel alles zong bij the Wailers. Peter Tosh kreeg vervolgens een vrij succesvolle solocarrière, maar Livingston kreeg geen hits meer. Toch is Livingston een Reggae-legende. Hij stond namelijk gedeeltelijk achter het succes van The Wailers. Na het vertrek van Livingston en Tosh werd die band vernoemd naar Bob Marley & The Wailers. Die werden wereldberoemd, ook al is I Shot The Sherrif waarschijnlijk toch het beroemdste nummer. Dat werd onder andere gecoverd door Eric Clapton en Stephen Marley. Bunny Livingston is nog steeds actief in de muziek, zo gaf hij 2008 nog een aantal concerten.
  • Bunny Wailer, znany też jako Bunny Livingston, był, obok Boba Marleya i Petera Tosha jednym z założycieli grupy reggae o nazwie The Wailers. Wailer, wokalista i perkusista grupy, urodził się jako Neville O'Riley Livingston 10 kwietnia 1947 na Jamajce. Wraz z Peterem Toshem wciąż nagrywali jako the The Wailers w czasie gdy Bob Marley przebywał w Delaware. Bunny Wailer koncertował razem z The Wailers w Anglii i Stanach Zjednoczonych, ale wkrótce coraz niechętniej opuszczał Jamajkę. Bunny i Tosh zeszli na drugi plan, gdy grupa odniosła międzynarodowy sukces, a uwaga wszystkich skupiała się na Marleyu. Opuścili The Wailers by zacząć karierę solową. Zostali zastąpieni przez trio wokalne I Threes. Po opuszczeniu Wailersów, Bunny skupił się na swojej wierze. Indentyfikował się z ruchem Rastafari, podobnie jak inni członkowie The Wailers. Nagrywał głównie w stylu reggae, z duchowym i politycznym przesłaniem. Album "Blackheart Man" jest dobrym przykładem jego stylu muzycznego. Bunny odniósł również sukces nagrywając również typowo apolityczne piosenki, głównie pop i dancehall. Bunny Wailer wygrał trzyktotnie nagrodę Grammy za najlepszy album reggae w 1990, 1994 oraz w 1996. Obecnie Bunny mieszka w Kingston, ma także farmę w głębi Jamajki.
  • Bunny Wailer, também conhecido como Bunny Livingston, foi um integrante da formação original do grupo de reggae Bob Marley & the Wailers, juntamente com Bob Marley e Peter Tosh. Cantor, compositor e percussionista, foi batizado de Neville O'Riley Livingston em 10 de abril de 1947 na Jamaica. Bunny viajou em turnê com os Wailers pela Inglaterra e Estados Unidos, mas logo tornou-se relutante em deixar novamente a Jamaica. Ele e Tosh foram marginalizados no grupo quando os Wailers começaram a fazer sucesso internacional, com todas as atenções focadas em Marley. Wailer e Tosh subsquentemente deixaram a banda para seguirem carreira solo. Eles foram substituídos pelas "I Thress", uma estratégia com vistas a ampliar o sucesso dos Wailers no mercado não-jamaicano. Depois de deixar o grupo, Bunny fixou-se mais em seus princípios espirituais. Assim como os outros Wailers, ele era um Rasta declarado. Ele produziu alguns de seus álbuns, além de compor e regravar a maioria do material do catálogo dos Wailers. Ele obteve sucesso gravando músicas apolíticas, mais pop e dançantes. Bunny sobreviveu a seus contemporâneos quando a morte violenta era um lugar comum. Wailer ganhou três Grammys de "Melhor Álbum de Reggae": em 1990, 1994 e 1996.
  • Bunny Wailer, född som Neville O'Reilly Livingston 10 april 1947 i Nine Miles Jamaica, är en jamaicansk reggaemusiker och sångare, och en av originalmedlemmarna i den legendariska gruppen The Wailers. Han ges ofta epitetet "levande legend" i reggaekretsar. . Neville Livingstone var den som tog initiativ till bildandet av sånggruppen The Wailers – som jämte Toots and The Maytals var de populäraste ska-artisterna på Jamaica under 1960-talet – och därför kan Neville kanske med rätta kalla sig för Bunny Wailer. Han var även medlem i den formation av The Wailers som 1973 släppte albumen Catch A Fire och Burnin – de två reggaealbum på Island Records som ledde fram till reggaens internationella genombrott. Han har därefter haft en delvis framgångsrik solokarriär ända in på 2000-talet.
