Jamaican vocal trio the Kingstonians were formed around 1966 by Jackie Bernard and his brother Footy, along with mutual friend Lloyd Kerr. They began their recording career with producer <a href="spotify:artist:3hZ5sdhYTvgrmXIwtVwqmS">J.J. Johnson</a>, but had their greatest success between 1968 and 1970 with producer <a href="spotify:artist:1ht9oSlPiNywrg22T2sM8d">Derrick Harriott</a>, who helped steer the singles "Singer Man" and "Sufferer" to the top of the Jamaican charts. An LP of the <a href="spotify:artist:1ht9oSlPiNywrg22T2sM8d">Harriott</a> material was released in 1970 under the title Sufferer, and it remains a wonderful example of rocksteady right at the point where it began to tip over into early reggae. The album was the career high point for the Kingstonians, who left <a href="spotify:artist:1ht9oSlPiNywrg22T2sM8d">Harriott</a> to work briefly with producers <a href="spotify:artist:7pfXISxo1nRPljiImq1BLp">Leslie Kong</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1UxYrIRzYsrxv8EYrmoRXA">Rupie Edwards</a> before breaking up as the roots reggae era began. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
