Keith Poppin

bvoc, voc,
Singer of Reggae
A.k.a. Keith Smith Keith Smith (3)

At the age of 17 Keith headed to Kingston to find a vehicle for his talents. In 1968, he formed his own band, The Rocking Horse, and began playing at local clubs and festivals. After a string of singles with The Rocking Horse, Keith's wide vocal range and dynamic studio presence soon earned him the nickname "poppin". He worked with Lloyd Parks in the early seventies, and in 1973 released his first solo single "Same Thing For Breakfast". This roots classic marked the beginning of a long and successful recording career, topping the charts in England and Jamaica and selling over 50,000 records.
