The 20th Century Steel Band has its humble beginnings as a working band on the Baileys Circuit, however 1975 saw the band record and release their debut album ´Warm Heart, Cold Steel´. This would prove to be a landmark album, featuring the track ´Heaven & Hell is on Earth´ which would go on to be an infamous addition to the world of sampling, long after the group disbanded following the dissolution of their record label, United Artists. ´Heaven & Hell is on Earth´ has been a firm favourite since its release as a sample in 1986. The ´Stop the Violence´ movement were the first, but by no means last to sample for the track ´Self Destruction´ of which all proceeds went to the National Urban League. Having become a regular on the sampling circuit, the track has been used by artists such as Salt-N-Pepa, Xzibit, Anonymous (ft Eminem), the Black Eyed Peas on their debut album ´Behind the Front´, The Jungle Brothers and LL Cool J (Featuring in the film ´Take the Lead´, starring Antonio Banderas). Perhaps the most famous of all tracks to sample ´Heaven & Hell is on Earth´ is ´Jenny from the Block´ by Jennifer Lopez (This is me …Then). Whilst ´Heaven & Hell is on Earth´ has become the legacy of the 20th Century Steel Band, the band marked their success in other ways, such as winning New Faces in 1986. Although sampling of 20th Century Steel Band was widespread, it was also done without the band´s knowledge, which led to band member Michael Olivier successfully suing for unpaid royalties, which finally saw him and the band credited with the masterpiece. As a result, Michael, credited with composing several of the bands most successful tracks including ´Heaven and Hell is on Earth´ went on to receive recognition for his contribution to music with awards from the British Music Industry (BMI) and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).
