Biography

Roots Reggae group, formed 1972 in Kingston, Jamaica. One of the most popular reggae acts ever and the first one to win a Grammy. Founded by Derrick "Duckie" Simpson (opens in a new tab), Don Carlos and Rudolph "Garth" Dennis, they rose to international fame in the '80s, when they were joined with the rhythm section of Sly Dunbar & Robbie Shakespeare (opens in a new tab) and with Puma Jones and Michael Rose as leadsingers. After his departure Rose was replaced by young singers like Junior Reid and Andrew Bees.
