Jamaican Vocal Duo, The Maytones, had a career that lasted from the late 1960's to the 1980's and included numerous releases that did not fear well due to their non-Rasta image that contrasted what major Labels wanted in the 1970's. They contributed a song to the Rockers movie soundtrack in 1979. Please take a listen here and Happy Reggae Thursday: Loving Reggae, Madness, Brown girl in the ring, Preaching love and Money worries
