Highly emotional vocalist Ken Boothe has been called "the Wislon Pickett of Jamaican music." One of the first to adapt the rocksteady rhythms of the mid-'60s, Boothe continues to stir audiences with his gritty baritone singing at Jamaican oldies shows. Boothe first attracted attention as half a duo, Stranger & Ken, that he shared between 1963 and 1965 with Winston "Strange" Cole. Beginning with his popular solo hit, "Feel Good," in 1966, Boothe recorded several tunes for Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One label in the late-1960s. Recording for Leslie Kong's label, Beverley's, in 1970 and 1971, he recorded such hits as "Freedom Street" and "Why Baby Why." Boothe also recorded as a freelancer for such producers as Keith Hudson, Herman Chin-Loy, Randy's and George "Phil" Pratt. Hit songs include "Artibella", "Feel Good, "Freedom Street", "Why Baby Why", "Puppet on a String", "Black Gold & Green", "What Is Love", "Show & Tell" and many others.
His current album is titled "Love is The Ultimate" produced by Upstairs Music.
