Jamaican ska, calypso, mas and soca band, formed around 1950 by Byron Lee and his friend Carl Brady. One of the best known and most successful Jamaican groups of all time.
The group were picked to perform in the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No which brought them to an international audience. Their "Dance Hall Soca" hit (recorded with Admiral Bailey) was credited with starting the ragga-soca craze of the late 1990s.
