Ken Boothe

Jamaica

Ken Boothe was one of the most popular and soulful singers of the rocksteady era. Boothe's vocals were deep and gritty, earning him a reputation as Jamaica's answer to Wilson Pickett. First rising to popularity as part of a ska duo with Stranger Cole, Boothe began a solo career at Studio One during rocksteady's prime, building a generous part of his repertoire on American soul covers.
