The Abyssinians, probably the best vocal trio of the 70's, were formed in 1968 and comprised lead singer Bernard Collins and the brothers Linford and Donald Manning. The group's name will always be associated with their timeless first single, the Rastafarian hymn 'Satta Massagana'. After a time of relative inactivity, The Abyssinians made their comeback in the 90's, although with two versions of the group - one led by Bernard Collins, the other by the Manning brothers.
