"We played an album for Yabby You - the same session “Jah Vengeance” were done on. Scratch heard us then and liked the sound and have us did some songs for him. Soon after that I got hired by Scratch to be a Black Ark studio bass player. It was during that time that “Roast Fish and Cornbread” and several other Black Ark riddims were done with me playing bass, of course. I can honestly say that I learned quite a bit from Scratch - the disciplines of playing percussions. He was very dedicated to his own sound - we spent a lot of time together in the studio and I learned how important it is for musicians to play together, bouncing off of the same pulse. He also taught me it was alright to be crazy!!!" - Clinton Fearon
In 1973 Errol Grandison left the group, later being replaced by Gallimore Sutherland. This newly formed trio would go on to have a successful career all the way through the early 1990s.
