The Tennors, a Jamaican rocksteady and reggae vocal group, were formed in Kingston in the mid-1960s by Albert George "Clive" Murphy. Their breakthrough came in 1967 when they recorded "Pressure and the Slide" at Studio One, establishing them as leaders in the rocksteady scene. Following Maurice Johnson's death, Murphy and Norman Davis continued as a duo, releasing hits like "Ride Yu Donkey" (1968). The group evolved into a trio with Ronnie Davis. Notable collaborations include work with producer Duke Reid on songs like "Hopeful Village", which won them the Best Performer title at the Jamaican Independence Song Festival. The Tennors disbanded in the mid-1970s, but their music gained renewed attention when "Ride Yu Donkey" was featured in Jim Jarmusch's 2005 film Broken Flowers. In March 2012, the group reunited and continued to perform internationally with new members.
