They were formed in 1973 and are still releasing records today. Their lineup has changed over the years, as has their musical style, although it has not strayed too far from the "roots reggae" style that they are generally categorized as.
With Dean Pond in the touring lineup (Dean Pond, founder of Dub Mystic and one time musical director and drummer for Culture, and V.I. producer of the year) this year (??) should prove to be even bigger for Third World.

Me plus you, I'm a tell you one time
Me plus you, I'm a tell you one time

When I met you girl my heart went knock knock knock
And even though it's a struggle love is all we got
So we gonna keep keep climbin' till the mountain top
Your world is my world
And my fight is your fight

A fantastic song, first heard when I visited Virginia and listen to kys radio, flew back to Europe one day before that space shuttle exploded. I bought third world music in a Munich specialist shop. Love it!
