Inner Circle

Jamaican group formed in Kingston in 1968 and consisted of brothers [a=Roger Lewis] and [a=Ian Lewis] on guitar and bass (together with different backing players also known as the [a=Fatman Riddim Section]), with the future members of [a40152] like [a440318], [a386500], [a479904],and with [a=Bernard "Touter" Harvey] on keyboards and lead singer [a=Jacob Miller] were responsible for the international successful career of Inner Circle with the pro Weed / anti cocaine hymn "Mary Mary" and the Island Gold Album "Everything Is Great" in late 1979 / early 1980. After the untimely death of the legendary [a=Jacob Miller] in March 1980, the group lost its [l=Island Records] contract and had a commercial drought for more than a decade before hitting big time again with the summer smash hit "Sweat (A La La La La Long)" (1993) and the title track for the Hollywood movie "Bad Boys" with then Lead Singer [a644625].
