Roy and Yvonne Roy Panton and Yvonne Harrison each made hit songs before they joined together in 1964. Roy and Millie Small charted in Jamaica with "We'll Meet" and Yvonne and Derrick Morgan made the top 10 with their "Meekly Wait". When Millie and Derrick departed to work for extended periods in England in 1963, Roy and Yvonne became a duet. Their first release, "Two Roads," was a hit when it dropped in the spring of 1964.

Yvonne with "The Chase", "Take My Hand" and "Near To You," while Roy made an impact with "Endless Memory." Now based in Scarborough, Ontario, they've reunited and sound better than ever.
