Black Uhuru, formed by Derrick "Duckie" Simpson, is a Jamaican reggae band probably best known for their hits "Shine Eye Gal", "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner", "Sinsemilla", "Solidarity", and Grammy winner "What Is Life?". They were the first group to win a Grammy in the reggae category when it was introduced in 1985. They originally formed as "Black Sounds Uhuru". Uhuru is the Swahili word for freedom.

The group was named by Stan "Roy Scientist" Palmer.

The first line-up of the group was Garth Dennis, Don Carlos, and Derrick "Duckie" Simpson. The group has undergone several lineup changes: Carlos left, replaced by Michael Rose; then Dennis left to play with the Wailing Souls, and was replaced by Errol Nelson. During this early period, the band's most famous recording is the album entitled Love Crisis, later re-released as Black Sounds Of Freedom. In 1979 the group was joined by Sandra "Puma" Jones, a social worker from South Carolina, USA. Under this lineup (Rose, Simpson and Jones), with Sly & Robbie as producers (and also permanently employed on drum and bass), they released the band's most popular albums: Sinsemilla, Red, and with some of the Compass Point All Stars, Chill Out and the Grammy-winning Anthem,[2] as well as others. During this period, Black Uhuru became one of the most popular reggae groups in the world, regularly touring with the likes of the Clash, the Police and the Rolling Stones. Live 1984 (a concert at the Rockpalast in Germany; actually recorded on October 18, 1981) captures the band at the height of its power. In 1989, their album Red was ranked #23 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest albums of the 1980s.
