Third World is a Jamaican reggae band formed in 1973. Their sound is influenced by soul, funk and disco. According to Billboard's Jim Bessman, Third World is considered by some reggae purists to be overly commercial.
Third World's greatest success came in the late 1970s and early 1980s, peaking with their cover version of The O'Jays' Now that We Found Love, a hit single on both sides of the Atlantic in 1979. This song brought them to the attention of Stevie Wonder, who worked with them and wrote, along with Melody A McCully, their hit Try Jah Love.
Third World is the 3:rd and last band from Uppsala Reggae Festival and they will get up on stage on today around 22:00 CET.
