They decided to name their band The Wailer. It took several years before they became famous.
The Wailers' first album was released in 1973 and sold well. When Eric Clapton had covered one of his songs in 1974, Marley got a lot of global attention. In 1975, He released his popular song 'No Woman, No Cry', and still regarded as a classic good song today.
Marley left Jamaica in 1976. He lived in England to record his 'Exodus' albums. He toured around the world and performed to a campaign against apartheid in South Africa and to celebrate Zimbabwe's Independence. He died because of cancer in 1981 at the aged of 36.
