The Drive

In 1971, Henry and Stanley were approached by guitarist Adolphus 'Bunny' Luthuli, to put together a band to compete in the Alco Best Band Competition at Jabulani Stadium in April 1971 to participate. Bunny had played with Henry in Almon's Jazz 8. This approach was the Birth of South Africa's biggest soul-jazz band, The Drive, consisting of the Sithole brothers Henry, Danny and Stanley, Bunny Luthuli, Mike Makhalemele, Lucky Mbatha, Nelson Magwaza and Anthony Saoli.
