Along his close friends Peter Tosh and Robert Nestor ‘Bob’ Marley,
Neville O’Riley Livingstone, Bunny Wailer, was the third member
of the original Wailers. Yesterday Bunny Wailer died in his native
Jamaica, age 73. He was the last surviving member of the legendary
group. To honor this man who was an important figure in Reggae
and Jamaican music, today we listen to his first solo album. Blackheart
Man was recorded in 1976. Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer would fre-
quently sing each other’s background vocals on their solo albums.
Neville Livingstone loved the Jamaican countryside. he had been
frequently hospitalised since suffering a stroke in 2020.

Neville O’Riley Livingstone alias Bunny Wailer was één van de oprichters
van de originele Wailers samen met Peter Tosh en Bob Marley. Ze waren
vrienden sinds ze jong waren. Gisteren overleed hij op Jamaica, 73 jaar oud.
Hij was de laatste levende van het legendarische trio en een belangrijke
figuur in de Reggae en de Jamaicaanse muziek in het algemeen. Vandaag
eren we Bunny door naar zijn eerste solo album te luisteren. Blackheart
Man werd opgenomen in 1976. Peter Tosh en Bunny Wailer zongen samen
de achtergrond vokalen op beider solo platen. Neville Livingstone hield
enorm van het ‘country’ leven. Hij lag na de beroerte, die hij in 2020 had,
regelmatig in het ziekenhuis.
