Carlton and The Shoes - Topic
Carlton and The Shoes are a Jamaican vocal group who had their greatest success in the late 1960s, as rocksteady gradually became reggae and were still active in 2008, most notably in Japan and Jamaica. The group had several Studio One recorded hits in Jamaica, most notably "Love Me Forever" in 1968.The group is led by Carlton Manning, and the line-up was originally completed by his younger brothers Donald and Lynford, and Alexander Henry. Manning originally named the group Carlton and his Shades, but a printer's mistake on their debut release led to the "Shoes" name sticking. Although their debut release made little impact, they moved on to work with Clement "Coxsone" Dodd at Studio One, where they enjoyed a massive rocksteady hit with "Love Me Forever".
"Love Me Forever" has been re-released and covered many times since, and the single's B-side, "Happy Land", formed the basis for The Abyssinians' "Satta Massagana", one of the most covered songs in the history of reggae. When Donald and Lynford formed The Abyssinians, Carlton remained at Studio One, continuing to make records, and working as a session guitarist.
