The Twinkle Brothers

The Twinkle Brothers were formed in 1962 as a hotel show band, which goes some way to explaining their name.

The band initially consisted of brothers Norman (vocals, drums) and Ralston Grant (vocals, rhythm guitar) , but soon expanded to include Eric Barnard (piano), Karl Hyatt (vocals, percussion), and Albert Green (congas, percussion).
After a few minor hits with other producers they started producing themselves. “Rasta Pon Top” was released in 1975 and viewed as a classic.
