Simplicity is one of the pioneers of the Lovers Rock era. Their first lovers rock hit was, 'To be in Love' which was produced by Lloyd Coxsone. It was the B side to the Emotion’s soul classic, 'A Feeling is a Feeling'. Simplicity was then introduced to Neville King and together with his protege band, One Blood, recorded their next three hits, 'Loving Kind', 'Waiting' and ‘Black is Our Colour’. Over the years, Simplicity has embarked on many projects, and have a multitude of songs in their repertoire. Are you ready to hear the wealth of their experience. Listen to their LP 'Waiting - The Album', or 'For the love of you,' which is featured on an LP of the same name. This year they are working on a revolutionary EP. Let Simplicity bring loving harmonious songs to your prestigious event; request a quotation.

Great show! It was brilliant, will definately attend another one of their shows. Age ain't nothing but a number and Simplicity look young and sprucy.

5 out of 5

Simplicity were awesome. They had to pull up a few songs because of the emotional response from the audience who sang along (me included) with such gusto. It was a heartfelt night because those lyrics and melodies held so many memories for so many people.
