Marley's musical career began in the late 1960s with the formation of the Wailers, a group he formed with friends Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. The Wailers achieved international success with hits like "Simmer Down" and "One Love." Marley's distinctive voice, poignant lyrics, and the fusion of reggae with elements of ska and rocksteady contributed to the global appeal of his music.
