Biography
The Twinkle Brothers were formed in 1962 by brothers Norman (vocals, drums) and Ralston Grant (vocals, rhythm guitar) from Falmouth, Jamaica. They start singing r&b and gospel arround age of 10 and some ska or calypso in hotels (like in [Link] LP) They will later be joined by [a667925] on drum & chant, [a2038094] on drum & congas, [a667924] on keyboard and [a248218] on bass After winning local talent competitions, they recorded their first single, "Somebody Please Help Me," in 1966 for producer Leslie Kong.[2] This was followed by sessions for other top Jamaican producers such as Duke Reid, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Sid Bucknor, Phil Pratt, and Bunny Lee.[2] The band worked in the late 1960s and early 1970s on the island's hotel circuit, playing a mixture of calypso, soul, pop, and soft reggae, and in the early 1970s, they began producing their own recordings. Their debut album, Rasta Pon Top, was released in 1975, featuring strongly Rastafarian oriented songs such as "Give Rasta Praise" and "Beat Them Jah Jah". Since the early 1990s Twinkle Brothers have been regularly collaborating with the Polish band [a=Trebunie-Tutki] in which they fuse reggae and traditional music from the Tatra Mountains. Currently lead by founding member Norman Grant - as well as legendary bass player [a=Dub Judah], [a=Black Steel] & [a=Jerry Lions] on guitar, [a=Aron Shamash] on the keyboards, [a=Barry Prince] on drums, and their engineer Derek "[a=Demondo]" Fevrier - the Twinkle Brothers are widely considered to be one of the best live foundation reggae bands in circulation, and they continue to play regularly all over the world to a loyal fanbase.
