Devon, Dave and Ancel Collins were a Jamaican reggae duo with Dave Barker on
vocals and Ansel Collins on keyboards. They joined forces in 1970, for the
reggae single "Double Barrel". Released in late summer by Techniques Records,
part of the Trojan Records label, it topped the Jamaican and UK charts in May
of 1971, the duo quickly split after the success of their hit "Double Barrel",
with Dave Barker moving to UK while Ansel Collins becoming a session player.
The duo tried to come back in 1981 and they reunited in 2012 for several shows.

Thanks, Marty. I've never heard of the singers before, much less the song,
so I don't know what he was referring to. Sorry about that. Devon.
