Franklin Delano Alexander "Junior" Braithwaite (4 April 1949 – 2 June 1999) was a reggae musician from Kingston, Jamaica and the youngest member of the vocal group, The Wailing Wailers.
Braithwaite was with The Wailers for eight months and sang lead on such songs as "Habits", "Straight and Narrow Way", "Don't Ever Leave Me", and "It Hurts To Be Alone".
He had the best voice in The Wailers, according to Studio One's Coxsone Dodd, who discovered the band's talent.
Braithwaite left the band in 1964 and moved to the United States with hopes of pursuing a medical career.
With the murder of Peter Tosh in September 1987, plans for world tours with a reunited Wailers never materialized.
