- The I-Threes are the most famous backup singing team in history. A supergroup that helped make Bob Marley and the Wailers the greatest reggae group in history.

The I threes backing Bob are perfect harmony.
Flawless!
@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety The I Threes joined the Wailers after Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer left the band in 1973 or in 1974.
They were excellent bought a lot to the table
They also paved the way for women reggae artists too! Being in a male dominated genre they solidified themselves as legends in their OWN right! Love to see them getting props as they are an integral part of Bob’s music.
You're right...Other early ones who propped up female singers in male-dominated reggae were Hortense Ellis, Phyllis Dillon and the late Cynthia Schloss...
Marcia said Bob was so protective of them in the male industry of reggae
As a little girl in Jamaica 🇯🇲, I fell in love with the I-Threes first and then Bob Marley #lovesign
The 3 ladies are gorgeous. Long live Bob 🎉
These 3 Queens blessed the world of reggae music with their voices in a way I will always be grateful for hearing.
They complemented Bob perfectly! Jamming Jamming Jamming
The I-Threes were super stars and very talented! They left their musical careers behind in order to support Bob Marley!
Thank you for giving these Queens their flowers! 💐💐💐I love the I-Threes, their harmonies and distinct vocals were everything.
It's even rumored the I -Three were formed when the ladies performed at Lee Scratch Perry's birthday party.....Judy Mowatt was my heart-throb ❤️ when growing up listening to reggae ....Marcia Griffiths 's version of Nina Simone's Young Gifted snd Black is one of the greatest ever covers in 20th century popular music in my opinion ..... And Lord, she was and still is a BEAUTY in the 2000s.
The I were a gem. They are a marvel to listen to. Long live to the beautiful singers
The golden voices...Rita, Marcia, and Judy.
As Bob Marley fan, I regard the I three as backbone of the wailers. Their talent and sweet voice hit the heart and added mellow to Bob's songs.
Thanks for the video and giving them the rightful credit.
I was blessed to see Sistah Rita perform live, as well as Sistah Marcia Griffiths. Never seen Sistah Judy perform live. 💚💛❤️
When bob Marley sang in his song three little birds pitch beside my doorstep singing sweet song he was talking about the I threes and their sweet melody
Omg I LOVE THIS 🥲🥲🥲
Finally someone is talking about them. I think they should do a movie on them.❤❤❤
Give thanks for such a profound acknowledgement of the I three Goddesses . They deserve this very beautiful unique tribute.
Love and Light

Yes I Pupa Gregory G 🙌
As a little girl in JA, I dreamed of being a part of something as magical as the I Threes. I have nothing but respect and admiration for these ladies and their body of work.
Judy mowatt so beautiful 🙂. I always loved her
Gorgeous lady 😍
They are so beautiful and talented. I love them all.
Rita Marley, Marcia Griffiths, Judy Mowatt
Legendary singers, but let me say that Judy Mowatt is the Goddess of Reggae!
About the I-Threes, I think that the choir that gave me more goosebumps and tears is the one in Babylon System!
Behind every successful man, there're women.
Definitely the greatest melody u have ever heard ❤❤❤❤
I seen the I-Threes in Edinburgh in the early 80's. Even managed to dance with them. I never ever have seen more beautiful women. In spirit or looks. Wish there was more pics and films of them online. They should be seen more.
Rita was part of the original wailers
😮 saw them live in 1976 and their voices really made the music mystical
Me too in '76❗🙋🏽♀👍🏽
This is one wonderful video. Thank you so much for this!
The I three are the legend, the very legend🎉🎉🎉.
And they totally kicked ass! 😂 yes they did
Great breakdown bro👍
Although I never had the pleasure to see Bob Marley while he was alive, I was blessed to see the I Threes when they accompanied Ziggy Marley on his “Hey World” tour I think it was 1984? He had The Wailers with him. It was an incredible show. There was one part of the show when he began doing his dads songs, not only the same vocal style but with ALL of his dad’s mannerisms and dance moves. It was absolutely chilling and thrilling to watch and of course the crowd went wild. It was also fantastic to see and hear The I Threes up there on stage singing together with those smooth beautiful vocals. I always had a great crush on Judy Mowatt. She was such a gorgeous sublime woman. Thanks for the video. It was very well done.
It must have been an awesome experience. Thanks a lot. I'm glad you liked the video.
Blessed ladies who brought feminine wailing to the group.
They had me with Natty Dread 💙
Respect
Wonderful backstory regarding the I Threes! I'm reading Rita Marley's book No Woman No Cry which is excellent!
There voices..especially Macia Griffiths has helped me love vocal work even more
love it!! Are we gonna get one from the Barret brothers? Love this channel
Yes I ✌️ on the way
Well researched Bro. Keep it up. Always
good research work, awesome vocalist
Gracias 🔴🟡🟢
Thank you for this. Would you please do a piece on Jimmy Cliff.
Great group .
Increíblemente magicas en sus harmonias y arreglos vocales...una huella imborrable junto a la banda más grande de todos los tiempos....gracias I-threes por tanto arte hecho canción ❤️💛💚
I'm surprised that Marcia's Stepping Out Of Babylon and Judy's Black Woman wasn't mentioned both classic roots reggae tunes in my opinion.
Just wondering, No mention of I-Threes working with any Marley children?
A great presentation. Thanks Blood
That was a Blessed time ⏲️ of life Wisdom Understanding Knowledge and Spiritual Diligence Ambation Dignified Teaching of the Father and Life Lessons was the Inspiration Give Thanks To Jah RASTARFAR I HAILE KING SELASSIE I Jah Guide 🌄🇬🇭🇯🇲🇰🇳💚💛❤🫀
Great video! Great history!
Wonderful story ❤❤❤❤❤ blessed love ❤️
Very few male reggae artistes can make an impact without quality female backups. This is the ingredient missing in the otherwise outstanding reggae band "Earthkry"
Tell them Dready. Love your content. I like, I subscribe and share every video. I support your channel. Keep'em coming. Yes, I Yah.
Blessings mi lion ✌️ Thanks for the support.
I like this video it's very informative

They were accomplished reggae singers their own right before hooking up with Bob, he was a smart man, after the Wailers broke up, he chooses his band wisely
Well done on this presentation 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching ✌️
THERE IS SO MUCH HISTORY YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT BOB MARLEY, TRENCH TOWN, AND THE BACK UP VOCALS. SEE RAS CARDO REGGAE FROM TRENCH TOWN AND HIS CREW TO LET THEM TEACH YOU THE TRUTH. RASPECT!!
SHARE THE REGGAE CREATION COPYRIGHTS WITH THE WORLD. REGGAE WAS CREATED BY RAS CARDO NOT -"THE WHITE MAN".
Jesus had his disciples,
Bob hasa' his I three's.. JAH'* rastafaride
Actually they supposed just to do some recording sessions for them then Bob asked them to tour the rest his history.
