Whilst still performing, no new material arrived for several years, until Pliers released a solo effort in “Billion Dollar Latte” in 2012. “For Every Kinda Person” was the duo’s third offering in 1997, after which they went relatively quiet.

“She Don’t Let Nobody” followed the next year, earning a spot at number four on the British Album Chart. In 1994, the duo released their debut album, “Tease Me,” which collected all of their hits into one package.

Tracks like “Snake in the Grass” and “Bam Bam” impressed Demus, who was quick to note his belief that the two could mesh well on record.

We sold two million copies in two weeks, and that's how we made the Guinness Book of World Records,” Pliers added. “Chaka Demus and Pliers and Jacks Radics did a song and we were the only ones who made number one on the British National Charts as non-whites. He has also seen much success with the cover of Twist and Shout, originally recorded by The Beatles. I turned back and told Sly and Gitsy that there was this song I always loved but I didn't know all the lyrics, and they told me to sing what I know and they would fill in the rest of the lyrics,” Pliers recalled. I went to do a song for Sly Dunbar called Murder She Wrote, and as I was stepping through the door and I remembered the song and the rhythm for Murder She Wrote rang a bell.
