The Twinkle Brothers, formed in 1962 by brothers Norman and Ralston Grant in Falmouth, Jamaica, began their musical journey singing R&B and gospel at the age of 10, later performing ska and calypso in hotels. After winning local talent competitions, they recorded their first single, "Somebody Please Help Me," in 1966 for producer Leslie Kong, followed by sessions with top Jamaican producers such as Duke Reid, Lee "Scratch" Perry, and Bunny Lee. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, the band played on the hotel circuit, blending calypso, soul, pop, and soft reggae, and began producing their own recordings. Their debut album, Rasta Pon Top, released in 1975, featured Rastafarian-oriented songs like "Give Rasta Praise" and "Beat Them Jah Jah." Since the early 1990s, the Twinkle Brothers have collaborated with a Polish band, merging reggae with traditional music from the Tatra Mountains. Led by founding member Norman Grant, along with legendary bass player and other musicians on guitar, keyboards, and drums, they are recognized as one of the best live foundation reggae bands and continue to perform worldwide for a dedicated fanbase.
