"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.

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.
