Keith & Ken

[Reggae Rhythm Update]

"Groove to the Beat" is credited to Keith & Ken on Get Ready Rock Steady (Studio One). Both singers are singing in a soft, quiet tone so I can't identify them. The easy guess would be Ken Boothe. Not sure about Keith. Anyone know? Thanks.

Keith Boone?



Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I agree,probably Ken Boothe with Keith"slim"Smith.

Great album.

I understand "Keith" was Keith Lyn anad "Ken" was Ken Lazarus

Thanks, Ninj...but I only read it somewhere - in some liner notes, most probably.

Thanks. Never heard of those guys but I'll go with Keith Lyn & Ken Lazarus.

Yes, it's Keith Lyn and Ken Lazarus. They have a wonderful ska tune called "I won't let you go".

All but one track credited to Keith & Ken are performed by Keith Lyn & Ken Lazarus and most of them are produced by Byron Lee approx 1964-65.

The one exception is Groove To The Beat, a Studio One production from 1967. Performed by Ken Boothe & Keith McCarthy.
McCarthy recorded Everybody Rude Now, also for Studio One in 1967.
