Id reggae acts never die they just skank off into the sunset. They are a bunch of true veterans who more
certainly have a few jaunts left in them yet. Regarded as one of the true pioneers of ska, they were viewed by many as the Jamaican equivalent of Booker T and the M65 or the Stax house band. With legends like Tommy McCook, Rolando Alphonso and keyboard master Jackie Mittoo passing through their ranks since their formation in 1964, the line-up may have changed but the feelgood vibe and skanking beats remain true.
