If he was a little influenced by Bob Marley, the Rocksteady groups (including BM & The Wailers) were majorly influenced by Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions.


You're not wrong. The influence ran both ways . The vocal style of the original Wailers owes everything to the Impressions. The Maytals were perhaps even more in hock to Mayfield. I love the harmonies on the early Impressions releases (63 - 65) the Curtom stuff not so much. They sound more like tentative CM solo albums.
