The recording session proved so inspiring young Marcia Griffiths invited the two women to be guests on a song that she and Andy were
scheduled to perform that evening at the House of Chen in New Kingston, Jamaica. Shortly after the departure of Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston from the Wailers, Bob Marley asked the three women to sing on his recording, Jah Live. They continued to work together for the next ten years. In early 1975, The I-Threes, a name said to be intended as a spin on the Rastafarian “I and I” concept of the Godhead within each person, joined Bob Marley for a historic tour as opening acts for The Jackson Five. Although the group continued to perform together following Marley’s death, the three women soon elected to pursue solo careers.
