Same "song" was also used in Kill Bill 1. Biggest track in Big Business was Higher Love by Steve Winwood.
Anyway - song was written by Frank Mills - I make no comment
Go here for his website
As far as I can see The Trinidad Seranders Steel Band made one album released in 1962 called Limbo. But that did not have this track on it.
As far as steel band music I would usually suggest starting with a compilation, but there is not a lot about that is easily available - do not buy Sand and Steel: The Classic Sound of Jamaican Steel Bands as the sound quality is awful. You might need to look at some websites based in the US / West Indies. There is a good selection here, I suggest you have a listen and see if you like anything. Otherwise go to CD Universe, they have a reasonable selection with some clips and reviews.
Hope that is of some help.
