After the break-up of The Federals, Scotty and Franklin re-formed their group by adding two new members, Noel "Bunny" Brown and Richard MacDonald.
[2] Their popularity increased in 1970 after they provided back-up vocals for Hopeton Lewis's single "Boom Shacka Lacka", and later that year they scored a Jamaican No.
Shortly after this success, Harriott removed Scotty from The Chosen Few, replacing him with Busty Brown, the former singer for The Messengers.
[2] His song "Draw Your Brakes", a deejay or toasting version of Keith & Tex's hit "Stop That Train", was in the soundtrack to the film, The Harder They Come.
He resumed recording, now in a ragga style,[2] and was working on a new album when he died of prostate cancer in 2003.
