McCook, Drummond, Moore and Sterling were all students at the famed Alpha Boys School in Kingston. In August 1965 The Skatalites played their last show after Don Drummond’s cofinement to Bellvue for the death of his girlfriend, Margarita. The break-up results in the formation of two studio bands, Rolando Alphonso & The Studio One Orchestra and Tommy McCook & The Supersonics. The band reformed in 1983 and is still active nowadays, despite the death of many original members. The Skatalites have had a lot of members pass away. Tommy McCook, Roland Alphonso, Lloyd Brevett, Don Drummond, Jerry Haynes, and Lloyd Knibb. Doreen is the only original member left.   Passionate about music finding its audience With a genuine enthusiasm and interest in helping new artists create the best music they can and reach their audience, we’re committed to playing our part in making sure top quality music finds its way to those who’ll enjoy it.
