The Movers is a South African soul band that originated in 1967 when brothers Norman and Oupa Hlongwane sought the assistance of Kenneth Siphayi, who became their manager. They signed with Teal Records in 1969, and their debut album, "Crying Guitar," achieved immediate success. Initially, the band focused on instrumental music but later incorporated a variety of singers. They enjoyed continued success throughout the 1970s. According to Max Mojapelo, the group's lineup included Sankie Chounyane, Oupa Hlongwane, Norman Hlongwane, and Sam Thabo, though it shifted over the decade. Other performers associated with the group included Dinah Mbata, Blondie Makhene, Philip Malela, Jabu Khanyile, Vusi Shange, Rammy McKenzie, Jabu Sibumbe, and Lloyd Lelosa.
