Sly and Robbie are 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. For example, the sleeve notes of Black Uhuru's Red album credit drums and syndrums to Sly Drumbar and bass guitar to Robert "Robbie" Basspeare. 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. Sly and Robbie played Sligo Town, Ireland in October between Thurs 23rd and 27th 2008 as part of the Sligo Live Festival. (via Wikipedia)
