Happy 78th birthday to one of the greatest Jamaican singers, Mr Ken Boothe.

Here he is in full flow in 1970, on the BB Seaton penned anthem that became a huge No. 1 hit in Jamaica...

It was amazing what you could get for free off food and drink packets in the 1970s.

Ken Boothe's amazing version of Syl Johnson's Is It Because I'm Black was given away by Nutrament...

One more from the master Ken Boothe on his birthday weekend.

He originally recorded You're No Good when he was still a teenager at Studio 1 in 1966. He re-recorded it in 1979 over a tough rockers rhythm...

'Soul Vendors On Tour' is back on vinyl in black and limited red editions. Despite the title, this isn't a live recording. It's a brilliant 1967 Studio One set marking the label's UK tour and capturing the moment Jamaican music moved from ska into rocksteady. #StudioOne #SoulVendors #KenBoothe
