Third World are a band hailing from Kingston, Jamaica who formed in 1973. Since debuting in 1975 the band have released 21 studio albums to date and have become one of the most respected and influential reggae groups of all time.
Forming out of the ashes of the band Inner Circle, the founding line up of Third World consisted of keys player Michael Cooper, guitarist Stephen Coore and singer Milton Hamilton coming together in 1973. By 1974, they had made their live debut backed by bassist Richard Daley, drummer Carl Barovier and percussion Irvin Jarrett and were soon making a name for themselves in the reggae clubs and hotels of their native Kingston. They made such an impact that they were able to support The Jackson 5 themselves at the Jamaican National Stadium, but like many reggae acts of their time, the first territory that truly took the band to heart was the United Kingdom, where they signed to Island Records before embarking on their first European tour in support of The Wailers.
Their self-titled debut album was released in 1976, and by the time they'd released their second album, 1977's “96° in the Shade”, they'd become one of the hottest reggae acts in the world, hugely in demand for live shows and attracting an audience of just over 80'000 at 1976's Smile Jamaica Festival. This hype translated into the band's first bona-fide hit single, which came in the form of 1978's “Now That We Found Love”. The cover of The O'Jay's single was a top ten hit in the U.K and a top 50 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, and by the early 80's, the band were in their imperial phase. However, internal friction within the band meant that Jarrett left in the mid-80's, but to this day, despite several line up changes, the band is still lead by Coore and Daley, playing live shows that are better than ever, and still releasing records that sound as fresh as their debut. For being the kind of band that any group would want to be four decades into their career, Third World come highly recommended.
Read moreThird World are a band that have been around for over forty years. They have had a huge career having been signed to Island, Columbia and Mercury Records. With a Reggae sound that is made up of one part soul and two parts musicality, Third World have a queue that is out of the door and down the street ready for this huge show tonight. Eventually the doors are open and punters line up along the bars fueling liquid confidence and what not.
“Now That We Found Love”, the bands biggest single has every person in the audience, young or old, singing along to this huge music. They endorse a sort of “roots” style of Reggae, that is so infectious that everyone is as close to the stage as they can be, getting their fill of this wonderful music. “It’s The Same Old Song” gets this slightly inebriated audience bouncing throughout the duration of the rest of this show.
This show was amazing!!! This is my third time seeing Third World only thing missing was the late great Bunny Rags but they carried on well without their leader wonderful show hope to see them again soon!!!!
