Singers And Players was a reggae collective emerging from the fertile and innovative landscape of the UK's dub music scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The group was a collaboration of various artists, the majority of whom were associated with the legendary On-U Sound record label, founded by producer Adrian Sherwood. The ensemble featured a rotating lineup that included notable musicians such as Prince Far I, Bim Sherman, Jah Woosh, and the members of African Head Charge, among others. Singers And Players was known for harnessing the deep, reverberating sounds of dub, while infusing it with the conscious lyricism and the punk-infused ethos that characterized the alternative edge of the UK's reggae movement.

Over the course of their career, Singers And Players released a handful of influential albums that captured the imagination of reggae enthusiasts and critics alike. Debuting with "War of Words" in 1981, they provided a powerful political commentary against a backdrop of heavyweight basslines and experimental soundscapes. This was followed by classics such as "Revenge Of The Underdog" and "Staggering Heights", with each record cementing their status as avant-garde disruptors of traditional reggae forms. While not commercial heavyweights, their work, including "Leaps And Bounds" and the compilation albums "Golden Greats Volume 1" and "War Of Version", left a lasting impact on the genre and helped to shape the future direction of British reggae and dub music, influencing a generation of musicians and producers who followed in their footsteps.
