Who is "Lloyd" of Lloyd and Devon?

Post by Selector J »

I'm assuming "Devon" is Devon Irons but who is Lloyd? The duo appears on several compilations (including Voodooism, Studio One Discomixes, and Trojan Reggae Duets Box Set) but I've never seen the full names printed.

Thanks guys! I'm glad I asked since I had the "Devon" wrong, too.

Lloyd Robinson was a seriously underrated singer, very powerful voice. too bad most of his efforts were as part of a duo...lloyd & hopeton, lloyd & glen, lloyd & devon, etc etc. wish there were more solo efforts on the level with Cuss Cuss, Love Will Conquer, etc.

Could Lloyd Robinson be one the guys from the group called "Shaumark & Robinson"?

If Lloyd is alive he propably could tell who is Mr. Shaumark.

yeah, i remember reading somewhere a few years gone who this person was, but i've forgotten. will post if it comes to me.

nice tune, too, Peace & Love. lloyd's voice is always easy to detect on any song he's a part of. very strong tenor.

Nice, nice!

You know they did another tune called "Weak Heart A Go Feel It". Its a shame the finished mix is missing.
