The Resume

    (April 10, 1947-March 2, 2021)
    Born in Kingston, Jamaica
    Birth name was Neville O'Reilly Livingston
    Also known as Bunny Livingston
    Member of the Wailers with Bob Marley and Peter Tosh (1963-74)
    Solo recorded the albums 'Blackheart Man' (1976), 'Protest' (1977), 'Roots Radics Rockers Reggae' (1979), 'Rootsman Skanking' (1981), 'Liberation' (1988), 'Rule Dance Hall' (1988), 'Dance Massive' (1992), 'Crucial! Roots Classics' (1994) and 'Communication' (2000)

Why he might be annoying:

    His father and Marley's mother had a child out of wedlock.
    He served 14 months in jail for marijuana possession (1967-68).
    He left the Wailers partly over his refusal to tour outside of Jamaica.
    Despite having been the least prominent Wailer in terms of lead vocals and songwriting, he changed his last name from Livingston to Wailer upon going solo.
    In case that isn't enough to remind people why he was famous, he periodically records albums of old Wailers songs ('Bunny Wailer Sings the Wailers,' 'Time Will Tell: A Tribute to Bob Marley' and 'Hall of Fame: A Tribute to Bob Marley's 50th Anniversary').

Why he might not be annoying:

    He became best friends with Bob Marley in grade school.
    He provided harmony vocals on the Wailers' songs.
    He founded his own record label, Solomonic.
    He and Stevie Wonder co-headlined a benefit concert for the Jamaican Institute for the Blind (1983).
    He became the last survivor of the Wailers classic line-up.
