Claim to fame: Waterhouse roots-reggae group which won the first Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album, with Anthem, in 1984.

Classic line-up: Michael Rose, Duckie Simpson and American Puma Jones.

Anthem heard Black Uhuru going for a crossover feel on songs like What Is Life, Somebody's Watching You, Party Next Door and Solidarity.

Steven Van Zandt (of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and later of The Sopranos) wrote and recorded the original version of Solidarity.

Many critics blasted Uhuru for abandoning their hardcore sound on Anthem.

Album was distributed by Island Records through its subsidiary, Mango Records.

Producers Sly and Robbie used horns for the first time with Uhuru on Anthem.

Rose left the group following the Grammy success. He was replaced by Junior Reid, another Waterhouse singer.

Puma Jones, who was from from South Carolina, died from cancer in 1990.
