Third World
Third World came together in Kingston in the early 1970s and quickly stood apart from the reggae crowd, weaving soul, funk and pop into a roots foundation built by musicians who could really play. Songs like "96° in the Shade," "Now That We've Found Love" and "Try Jah Love" carried them far beyond Jamaica, and their long career has made them one of reggae's most travelled and enduring bands.

96° in the Shade (1977). It's the album that made their name at home, built around the title track's slow-burn account of the 1865 Morant Bay rebellion. Alongside it you get the gorgeous "Dreamland" and "Rhythm of Life," a good snapshot of their mix of roots feeling and polished musicianship.
Biography
Third World is a Jamaican reggae fusion band formed in 1973. Their sound is influenced by soul, funk and disco. Although it has undergone several line-up changes, Richard Daley has been a constant member of the band since its inception in 1973.
