SLY & ROBBIE Reggae Innovators Original 8 x 10 glossy Island Records B&W Press Photo

Robbie Shakespeare (born Robert Shakespeare, 27 September 1953, Kingston, Jamaica).Sly Dunbar (born Lowell Charles Dunbar, 10 May 1952, Kingston, Jamaica).Sly and Robbie are easily one of reggae's most prolific and long lasting production teams. The rhythm section of drummer Lowell Dunbar (nicknamed Sly after Sly Stone, one of his favorite musicians) and bass guitarist Robert Shakespeare started working together in the mid 1970s, after having established themselves separately on the Jamaican music scene.

They are humorously also sometimes referred to as Sly Drumbar and Robbie Basspeare, one example being the sleeve notes of Black Uhuru's Red album.Sly and Robbie may well be the most prolific recording artists ever. One estimate is that they have played on or produced some 200,000 songs, considering that some of their riddims such as "Revolution" have been used on over 100 songs.
