Though the original lineup disbanded in 1965, they reunited in 1983, continuing to tour and record, influencing genres from reggae and rocksteady to two-tone and punk, solidifying their status as the foundation of Jamaican music.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
