Reggae legend Bunny Wailer

NEW YORK (FOX 5 NEWS) - More than 50 years after he formed the most influential reggae band in history, Bunny Wailer is still going strong.

Bunny Wailer has been the gold standard in reggae music for 50 years and he still has it. I got a chance to catch up with the Jamaican artist on a recent tour stop in New York City to talk about the music, the original Wailers and the people.

Bunny, Bob Marley and Peter Tosh met as youngsters in Jamaica and formed the Wailers -- the music, the message, from a small island to an international stage. Bob eventually became the face of the group and Bunny went his own direction but the love is still strong.
