The Maytones (sometimes known as The Mighty Maytones) are a Jamaican reggae vocal duo who were active between the late 1960s and until 1980. The Maytones formed in the late 1960s, and comprised Vernon Buckley and Gladstone Grant, both of whom lived in May Pen in Clarendon, which inspired the group's name

With their seemingly effortless two-part harmonies, Jamaica's Maytones (Vern Buckley and Gladstone "Son" Grant) were one of the best (if not the most unsung) reggae roots acts of the 1970s. Working with the sparse, simple rural rhythms provided by producer Alvin Ranglin, and blessed with Buckley's clear and subtle songwriting, the duo turned out track after track of quality material

The Maytones were actually the duo of lead singer Vern Buckley and backing vocalist Gladstone "Son" Grant. The pair were neighbors in May Pen, a rural market town, a background that deeply influenced their vocal style. More appeared in 1971, including such cultural classics as "Cleanliness," "Bongo Man Rise," "Wha Nu Dead," and "Little Boy Blue," the song with which Judge Dread versioned his way to fame. 1972 brought another coterie of masterpieces including "Born to Be Loved," "As Long as You Love Me," "If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want to Be Right)," "Brown Girl," and "Hands and Feet. All Over the World, People Are Changing" hit the following year. Their debut album, titled after their British hit was released in 1976, Greatest Hits arrived the next year, while Boat to Zion and the Buckley/Ranglin co-production One Way both followed in 1979.
