This Group IS History

Israel Vibration was founded by Cecil “Skelly” Spence (born in 1952), Lacelle “Wiss” Bulgin (born in 1955), and Albert “Apple Gabriel” Craig (born in 1955, deceased in 2020). They were victims of the polio epidemic that spread through Jamaica in the 1950’s. Skelly, Wiss, and Apple met at the Mona Rehabilitation Clinic in Kingston, where they got together for funding the group a few years later. Skelly and Wiss were members of the first musical group from Mona, the SKA Band “Hot Lickers”, which appeared on TV when Skelly was only 12 years old. Apple attended to Alpha Boys School, the musical birthplace of many legendary Jamaican artists.

The three young men adopted Rastafarian faith and decided to create a vocal group, initially called “Israel Vibration, Israel Vibrates”, soon renamed to “Israel Vibration.” In the beginning, they knocked at the doors of many studios, meeting different producers who used to listen to them acknowledging their talent, but without giving a chance to record.
