The Pioneers Were Formed In 1962 By Brothers Sydney And Derrick Crooks And Their Friend Winston Hewitt. Their Early Recordings "Good Nanny" And "I'll Never Come Running Back To You" Were Self-Produced At The Treasure Isle Studio Using Money Lent To The Crooks Brothers By Their Mother And Appeared On Ken Lack's Caltone Label.
Several Other Singles Followed None Of Them Hits Before Hewitt Immigrated To Canada In 1966. Hewitt Was Replaced For Around A Year By Former Heptone Glen Adams.
The Pioneers' Early Singles Were Not Successful And Sydney Began Promoting Concerts While Derrick Took Up A Job With The Alcoa Bauxite Company. The Group Broke Up In Mid-1967.
Sydney Began Working At Joe Gibbs' Record Shop And Through Gibbs Returned To Recording. At His First Session To Record "Give Me Little Loving" With The Other Members Of The Pioneers Gone Crooks Recruited Jackie Robinson Who He Found Outside The Studio Just Before Recording Began. Crooks Later Said Of The Encounter "When I Was About To Voice The Song I Looked Outside The Studio And I Saw A Little Boy Sitting On A Stone. I Said 'Hey Come Here Man You Can Sing?' He Sang The Harmony For 'Give Me Little Loving' And His Name Was Jackie Robinson. After That I Said To Him 'You Are One Of The Pioneers From Today' And He Became The Lead Singer Of The Pioneers".
The New Version Of The Pioneers Enjoyed Success With Singles Such As "Longshot" A Track Written And Produced By Lee "Scratch" Perry On Gibbs' Behalf About A Long-Lived But Unsuccessful Racehorse "Jackpot" "Catch The Beat" And "Pan Yu Machete" An Attack On Perry Who Left Gibbs In 1968 To Start Working On His Own Productions . Crooks And Robinson Also Recorded As The Soul Mates In 1967.

The Classic Trio And The Move To The UK 1969-77

In 1976 The Pioneers Teamed Up With Eddy Grant For An Album For Mercury Records Called Feel The Rhythm. Grant Preferred To Produce Them As A Soul Group And They Released A Number Of Singles In That Idiom Including "Broken Man" "Feel The Rhythm" And "My Good Friend James"
The Change Of Style Was A Critical But Not A Commercial Success And The Band Split Up For A Time In The Late 1970s With Crooks Concentrating On Production Work And Continuing With His Brother In The Slickers While Agard And Robinson Continued To Record Together On The Album George & Jackie Sing And Separately. The Group Reformed In The Late 1970s And Continued Until 1989 When They Split Again To Concentrate On Separate Careers.
