They run in the same orbit as Derrick Morgan, The Kingstonians, The Techniques, The Ethiopians and Owen Gray, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Don Campbell, Ken Boothe, The Techniques, Ziggy Marley and Jah Stitch, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
