Ken Boothe – Let’s Get It On

Ken Boothe – Let’s Get It On.
Boothe was born in the Denham Town area of Kingston, Jamaica, on March 22, 1948. His mother and older sister were both singers as well, and Boothe grew up listening mostly to American soul music. He started performing in his teenage years, forming the duo Stranger & Ken with his friend Winston “Stranger” Cole. They cut several singles for Duke Reid and Leslie Kong before hitting their stride on Clement “Coxsone” Dodd’s Studio One label with a string of ska hits over 1963-1965: “World’s Fair,” “Artibella,” “Hush,” “Thick in Your Love,” “All Your Friends.” Dodd encouraged Boothe to record as a solo artist, and he and Cole both embarked on solo careers.
