Ellis continued to work for Dodd and also recorded for his arch-rival, Duke Reid on his Treasure Isle label. When Holt joined The Paragons, Ellis formed a new group, The Flames. Ellis remained in Kingston, working as a printer and after losing his job, he restarted his music career, initially forming a new duo with John Holt. The duo split after Parkins won a major talent contest and moved to the United States. The duo also recorded R&B tracks for Vincent Chin's Randy's label including 'Let Me Dream'. Further releases in the R&B style followed: 'Lullabye Angel', 'I Know It All', 'I'm Never Gonna Cry' and 'Yours'. This initial success was followed by the release of 'My Heaven', which like 'Muriel' was a slow R&B ballad with the instrumental triplets and vocal harmonizing common to the ballads of that period.
Alton Ellis is one of the most influential artistes in the history of Jamaican music.Ellis and Parkins recorded for Coxsone Dodd at Studio One, initially in the R&B style, having a hit in 1960 with 'Muriel' (from Dodd's first commercially oriented recording session at Federal studios), a song Ellis had written while working as a labourer on a building site.
