Greetings,

The Wailers also backed up Israel Vibration's second album, "Unconquered People". They backed up Burning Spear on "Hail Him". They backed up Joe Higgs on "Blackman Know Yourself".

Here's a website for Olive Grant (aka Senya, aka Ta-Teasha Love) that was set up before she passed away:

Respect!

thanx for the inputs. Indeed they appear with loads of musicians but full albums are rarer.
Anyone knows how they chose the obscure singers they backed (Lulu, Jahmel, Iya Karna, etc.), were they friends ?
Any info about those singers ?
