Formed by Alton Ellis after John Holt joined The Paragons. After leaving from Studio One due to less payment for his older recordings like Sings Rock And Soul, he signed a contract with Arthur "Duke" Reid. He formed a trio to back him called The Flames. Consisting originally of his brother Leslie Ellis, David "Baby G" Gordon and a guy called Ronnie, later on people like Lloyd Charmers and Winston Jarrett would join. Membership would fluctuate. Ellis quickly scored a major hit in 1965 with the antiviolence plea "Dance Crasher," and the following year, he released what was arguably the first rocksteady single, "Get Ready - Rock Steady." When Alton Ellis moved to England in 1973, all his band projects in Jamaica stopped.
