An early West Coast ska band which mixed R&B covers with reggae rhythms and recorded with England's Stiff Records,
the Untouchables debuted in 1984 with
Live & Let Dance. The group comprised of vocalist
Chuck Askerneese, guitarist and vocalist
Clyde Grimes, bassist
Derek Breakfield, keyboard player
Brewster, and an alternating crew of percussionists and horn players. They recorded
Wild Child in 1985 but after the 1986 EP
Dance Party,
the Untouchables were silent for several years. Finally, 1989's
Agent Double O Soul appeared, with the
Edwin Starr soul nugget covered therein. The 1990 live album
Decade of Dance was the group's last.
