In reply to Timmd:
What's your source(s) for this? I know there was a big fall-out between the Wailers and Perry, supposedly over some royalties Scratch didn't pay them, but I've never found any details of what happened. I once heard a claim that they kidnapped him, but I've never seen anything documenting this. That might be a confusion with Peter Tosh's death.
Jamaica's music seen was, and still is, prone to violence. Several Wailers died in shootings, and Bob himself was shot. Rough place.
