Those two made a fortune - at least I hope for them - playing the most seeked-after reggae wall of sound in the late seventies.

They were making gold not only because they were good, but for they acted as a single brand "Robbie Shakespeare and Sly Dunbar". Something like Bourbon Four Roses. or Keith and Mick. Where are they now?

Hm, dunno what they are up to right now - but I bought a cd in Barcelona last year from a Spanish reggae group called "Canaman" and they are at a song there and I think they also produced (not sure about the producing).

Sly & Robbie backed Half Pint on US tour mid 2004 then followed it with Sly & Robbie anniversary tour of US late 2004 and currently about to play in UK.
