Chaka Demus & Pliers are a Jamaican reggae duo made up of deejay Chaka Demus (born John Taylor) and singer Pliers (born Everton Bonner), known for their hits "Tease Me" and "Murder she wrote". As a duo, they enjoyed more commercial success with mainstream pop fans after their collaboration began in the early 1990s than either had in his previous solo career.
Both artists were established musicians when they teamed up and earned international recognition during the early 1990s, particularly in the United Kingdom, where they became the first Jamaican act to have three consecutive Top five hits on the UK Singles Chart; a record unsurpassed until Shaggy scored four consecutive Top five hits in Britain in 2001. Their first UK chart hit, "Tease Me", stayed in the Top five of the UK Singles Chart for three months in 1993, peaking at number three on the chart in July of that year. After releasing a cover of the Top Notes' "Twist and Shout", the song topped the UK Singles Chart, in early 1994. The duo's other Top twenty placements were "She Don't Let Nobody" (UK #4), "I Wanna Be Your Man" (UK #19), and "Gal Wine" (UK #20), with six hit singles in all taken from their debut album, Tease Me. The re-release of Tease Me also charted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, in 1994; The album went on to receive gold certification, selling more than 500,000 copies. Pliers is one of the Bonner brothers, all of whom are reggae artists, including Richie Spice and Spanner Banner.
John Taylor (born 16 April 1963), better known as Chaka Demus, is a Jamaican reggae musician and DJ, best known as part of the duo Chaka Demus & Pliers.
Born in West Kingston, Taylor was a regular attendee at Kingston dances and was given a chance by Prince Jammy to DJ on his sound system. Upon releasing his debut single, the Jammy-produced "Increase Your Knowledge" in 1985, he was virtually unknown. None of his early records saw chart success, though they later met with increased success. Other musicians quickly recognised him as having great potential, most notably Yellowman who joined him for such songs as "Everybody Loves Chaka", "Scotty", and "Bring It To Me" and Admiral Bailey, who collaborated with him on "One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer", giving him his first hit. The same year saw the release of "Everybody Loves Chaka", for the Scorpio label, which was then followed up by the 1989 album, The Original Chaka 'Watch me Ride'.
He first met Pliers (Everton Bonner) in 1991 and suggested that they team up. They enjoyed an internationally successful partnership including a string of hit singles and a number one album in the UK between 1993 and 1997.

The dancehall duo is shining proof that a sum can be bigger than its parts. In the early 90s the combination of Chaka’s gruff delivery and Plier’s sweet tones produced a series of international hits, including the Sly & Robbie produced “Murder She Wrote”. Here, the somewhat reluctant interviewees reveal positivity, spirituality and generosity as the key to their partnership. This, and Chaka’s passing observation that “I turn dancehall into stage show”. Steve Barrow poses the questions, an unidentified blonde mops brows, and cameraman Don Letts keeps them in the frame.

This video is about Chaka Demus & Pliers vip
En el ámbito dancehall es muy frecuente el intercambio entre deejays y cantantes en las llamadas 'combinations', pero es menos frecuente que una colaboración funcione tan bien como para crear una pareja fija. Es lo que sucede con el deejay Chaka Demus y el cantante Pliers. Ambos estaban activos en la escena dancehall de los ritmos digitales de la segunda mitad de los años ochenta y Pliers además proviene de una familia musical, siendo hermano de Spanner Banner y de Richie Spice. Desde las primeras prometedoras 'combinations' se hicieron inseparables y afinaron su estilo hasta el bienio 1993-94, con los grandísimos hits 'Tease me', 'She don't let nobody' y sobre todo 'Murder she wrote', realizada bajo la tutela de los gemelos del ritmo Sly & Robbie. Este último tema es uno de los temas da...
