The band first backed The Chosen Few in the early 1970s before joining with successful solo artist Jacob Miller and releasing a string of records.

Brothers Ian and Roger Lewis have remained the group's consistent members, playing bass and guitar, respectively.

The band's lineup is completed by singer Trevor "Skatta" Bonnick and lead guitarist Andre Philips.

[1] They appeared on record in 1970, backing The Chosen Few on the Derrick Harriott-produced single "Why Can't I Touch You", with the Inner Circle Band credited with the instrumental version on the B-side.

[1] Coore and Cooper were then students of the University of the West Indies, studying for various degrees[citation needed] and were soon joined in Third World by fellow Inner Circle departees Clarke and Jarrett.

Meanwhile, Inner Circle re-tooled the lineup by recruiting keyboard players Charles Farquharson and Bernard Harvey (aka "Touter"), as well as drummer Calvin McKenzie as a replacement for Stewart (who would also go on to play with Third World).

After Miller's death in 1980, the band had one more American tour, inviting Norman Grant from the Twinkle Brothers for vocals.

"Something So Good" includes the memorable signature lead guitar solos that only Mark Castro can produce, especially When a Man Loves a Woman and World 2000.

[citation needed] "Bad Boys" was reissued as a single in 1990 and charted in several countries in Europe, but it was its 1993 re-release in the United States that achieved the greatest success.

[6][10] They received a second Grammy nomination in 1994 for the album Reggae Dancer, which included a cover of Joe South's "Games People Play" which was released as a single.

[11][12] Coffie left in the mid-1990s to pursue a solo career, and they were joined in 1994 by Kris Bentley who made his album debut on Da Bomb (1997), released on the band's own Soundbwoy Entertainment label.

[14] The 2000 album Big Tings featured guest appearances from Mr Vegas, Beenie Man, Luciano, Anthony B, and Glen Washington.
