www.reggae.me.uk will be featuring an article on an artist/song periodically. Today's artist/song featured article is a little bit about Alton Ellis.
Alton Ellis was born in 1938 and grew up in Kingston's Trench Town district. Born into
a musical family, he learned to play piano at a young age.[6] He attended
Ebeneezer and Boys' Town schools, where he excelled in both music and sport.[7] He initially
sought fame as a dancer, competing on Vere Johns' Opportunity Hour.[8] After winning
a couple of competitions, he switched to singing, starting his career in 1959 as
part of the duo Alton & Eddy with Eddy
Perkins.[(With thanks to Wikipedia)
Reggae.me.uk will continue to inform it's customers of Altons background in a build up to the new release on it's Album.
