The Gladiators (band)
The Gladiators are a Jamaican roots reggae band, most popular during the 1970s. The core was Albert Griffiths (guitarist and singer),Clinton Fearon (bassist and singer) and Gallimore Sutherland rhythm guitar and singer.

History
Albert Griffiths, singer and guitar player, was the founder of the reggae group The Gladiators. After some success with the singles "You Are The Girl" (a b-side to The Ethiopians hit record "Train to Skaville") in 1966, he recruited his childhood friends David Webber and Errol Grandison in 1968 to form the original Gladiators vocal group. The group's name was allegedly suggested by a fellow bus passenger during the time of their first recordings.
The group's first major success was with the single "Hello Carol" in 1968, for producer Coxsone Dodd, which topped the Jamaican music charts. Shortly afterwards, in 1969, Webber was stricken with illness and was replaced by Clinton Fearon, one of Griffiths' proteges. Similarly Grandison left the group in 1973 for family commitments and was replaced by Dallimore Sutherland.

The Cult---Rise
by: Crossroads Movie Songs soundtrackYou are the sun
I am the flame
You are the blood
I am the same
We are the love
That rises again
They are the snake
That bites on your veins
We are not chained to the wheel
You are the tear
I have no fear
You are so strange
I feel the same
Sorcerous mind
We rise again
We are not chained to the wheel
It's the way that you feel
It's the truth in your eye
You got wings upon your back
And you can fly
It's the way that you feel
It's the truth in your eye
'Cos you're up against the world
And still you rise
You are alive
Height of my dreams
You are the stars
That mystify me
And you are the wolf
That frightens the theif
And you are the voice
That they disbelieve
We are not chained to the wheel
And you are the spark
That sets us all free
We are not chained to the wheel
