Who named the wailers?

The Wailers, originally formed in 1963, were named by their founding member, Bunny Wailer. The name was inspired by the term "wail," which reflects the group's emotive style of singing and their connection to the reggae genre. The band initially started as "The Wailing Wailers" before eventually shortening it to "The Wailers." Their name became synonymous with reggae music, particularly through their collaboration with Bob Marley.
