In 1964 three vocalists – Delroy Denton, Keith Coley, and Gilmore Grant – came together to form The Silvertones. In 1965 they had success with the singles "True Confession" and "It’s Real", both produced by Duke Reid and released on the Dr. Bird Label. The Silvertones also released "Cool Down" by Duke Reid. In 1968, The Silvertones released a cover version of Wilson Pickett’s song "In The Midnight Hour". Other singles included "Old Man River" and "Slow and Easy" on Reid’s Treasure Isle label. They recorded for Sonia Pottinger "Guns Fever" and by 1971 were recording releases such as "Tear Drops Will Fall" for Clancy Eccles. Later, The Silvertones went on to record many songs for Studio One. They also recorded under the name "The Valentines", examples being "Guns Fever" (also called "Bam Bam Fever"), "Old Man Says" and "Stop the Violence". In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the band worked with Lee “Scratch” Perry, initially as "The Muskyteers". They contributed a version of Book Benton’s "Kiddy-O" to Perry’s album "The Upsetter". Perry produced their album titled "Silver Bullets", voiced at King Tubby’s Studio, in one night and released it on his Black Ark Label and on Trojan Records in the UK. Denton migrated to the United States and was replaced by Joel “Kush” Brown. In the late 1970s The Silvertones had successful singles with "I Want To Be There", "Smile", "Stop Crying", "Have a Little Faith", and "Come Forward".{{cn|date=February 2017}} They worked again with Clement “Coxsone” Dodd’s Studio One.
