    Greetings, I read a 2012 interview in which guitarist Al Anderson, who played and toured with the Wailers begining with the Natty Dread album up to Uprising, emphatically states that it was Earl Wire Lindo whom wrote “Redemption Song”. From the look of this video “Wya” the Wailers keyboardist is also doing a fantastic job on guitar. If there is any credeance to this story, it would be this: out of all the many guitar players in Jamaica that played, recorded and toured with Bob Marley and the Wailers, it is Wire, known as a keyboardist, accompanying Bob on this duet which was performed at the JBC in Jamaica.
    Give thanks

    This video of Bob Marley and Wya is only the second half of the performance. the duet is actually over 4 minutes long & can be heard on Youtube. This is in fact the second chorus.
    Give thanks.

        Thank you. I really would like know how he is doing. One of my prefer Wailer member. He has a excelent stage presence and nice aura. I would like he come back to The Wailers. Does he record with some artist actually? I apreciate every news about him. I hope he and his family is alright.

        Very cool! Wailers Reunion will perform here in Brazil, next month, but he is not listed as a band member this time (only Tyrone). Im excited to attend this event.
