Arguably the most gifted Jamaican musician of his generation, Ken Boothe is now considered a living legend, having recorded countless ska, rock steady and reggae classics over a period of some 60 years.

After making his recording debut in 1962, Ken Boothe enjoyed a highly successful career in Jamaica before achieving international fame in 1974 with his rendition of "Everything I Own" and its Top 10 follow-up, "Crying Over You."
