The Pioneers (band)

The Pioneers (band)

The Pioneers are a Jamaican reggae vocal trio, whose main period of success was in the 1960s. They were one of the most notable harmony bands of the early reggae period in the late 1960s. The trio has had different line-ups, and still occasionally performs. The band was popular in the United Kingdom, particularly among skinheads. They had two big UK hits, "Long Shot Kick de Bucket" in 1969, and "Let Your Yeah Be Yeah", which made #5 as a single in 1971. "Long Shot Kick de Bucket" was covered by The Specials on their "The Special AKA Live!" EP, which was a UK #1 hit in 1980. "Long Shot Kick de Bucket" was used in the 2008 film "The Wackness."
