All you people who consider yourselves Bob Marley fans ought to take a look at this article (http://www.furious.com/perfect/bunny.html) about good old Bunny.

Bunny sang the lead on some of the classic Lee Perry productions, such as "Dreamland" and "Riding High".
He also sang lead on songs on the Wailer's Burnin' album; "Hallelujah Time" and "Pass It On", two of the strongest numbers in my opinion.
His precussion and harmony singing added a lot to both Burnin' and Catch a Fire, and, I think, the reggae world was worse off for the split of this wonderful trio.

Some more great Bunny songs:

Blackheart Man
Liberation
Here in Jamaica
his solo version of Soul Rebel is great
and Dreamland deserves mention again, for being the best song Bob ever sang on.

Never say never, Red Circle.
