Ken Boothe - Essential Artist Collection (2023) [CD-Rip]

Arguably the most gifted Jamaican performer of his generation, Ken Boothe is today widely regarded as a living legend, having recorded innumerable ska, rocksteady and reggae classics over a period spanning some 60 years. After making his recording debut in 1962, Ken enjoyed a hugely successful career in Jamaica before achieving international stardom in 1974 with his chart-topping interpretation of "Everything I Own" and the top 10 follow-up "Crying Over You." Both of these hugely popular tracks feature on this collection, which forms part of Trojan Record's new Essential Artist series, which showcases the best-loved recordings of some of Jamaica's greatest musical talents.
