Third Eye was formed in Durban in 1968 around the young brother and sister team of Ron and Dawn Selby. The two โ with Ron on guitar and Dawn, just into her teens, on Hammond organ. The arrival of guitarist Maurice Saul, from the then Rhodesia, and Robbie Pavid, a drummer who doubled as the percussionist for Abstract Truth, another Durban-based progressive outfit, saw the band morph into Third Eye.
