Incognito was founded by Paul "Tubbs" Williams &
Jean-Paul "Bluey" Maunick in 1979, as an offshoot from
Light of the World. Light of the World was a substantially sized group and following various changes to the lineup, the founding members Breeze McKrieth, Kenny Wellington & David Baptiste – inspired by US
funk bands like
Funkadelic forming offshoot bands such as
Parliament – formed
Beggar & Co. Bluey & Tubbs went on to form a band, dubbed "Incognito". However, there has seen a re-connection over the years in "Light of the World" with all of former members, along their other committed work. Incognito has had intermittent success in the
UK Singles Chart, with their breakthrough 1991
hit a
cover version of the
Ronnie Laws' song "
Always There", featuring
Jocelyn Brown, In October 2022, the band was the first group to be honoured as part of Universal Music Recording's "Black Story" series which honours Black British artists as part of the UK's
Black History Month. ==Discography==
