They have been active as a Duo since the 1970's, but had their Solo beginnings some years earlier. They were involved in the changes of the Reggae beat from 'One Drop' to 'Rockers' to 'Rub a Dub' and then Digital music. The Duo have Toured with, Produced and Recorded with many (Peter Tosh, Grace Jones, Joe Cocker, Gwen Guthrie, Simply Red, Carly Simon, Black Uhuru, Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Sting, Shaggy, No Doubt and many others). They remain active; please take a listen here and Happy Reggae Thursday: Superthruster, Fire and Boops (here we go)
