Inspired by singers like Bob Marley, Ken Boothe, Delana Stewart of The Gaylads, Alton Ellis and John Holt of The Paragons, K.C. White made his first recording for Dynamic Sounds in 1972, a Gregory Isaacs composition called “Man No Dead”. In 1973 it was followed by a powerful version of Willie Cobbs’ “You Don’t Love Me” (aka “No, No, No”), which became a worldwide hit for Dawn Penn in 1994. K.C. White’s version was visited again by Big Youth for “Screaming Target”, which appeared on the deejay’s debut album of the same name. However it was the release of his cover of Gene Chandler & Barbara Acklin’s “Anywhere But Nowhere” (originally issued on the Impact! label around 1973, and 1998 re-released on the Soul Prof imprint), that he started to make a name for himself in Jamaica and Europe.
K.C. White continued recording with some local success – “The First Cut Is The Deepest” and “I’m Just A Lonely Man” – before migrating to New York where he took up work at Brad Osborne’s Record Den on White Plains Road in the Bronx, and began working at Bullwackie’s nearby studio. Whilst in New York, he enjoyed further recognition with tunes such as “We Need More Love”, “Sellasie I”, “Can’t Go On”, and “Keep On Loving You”. Besides that he often appeared on stage at concerts featuring US acts such as GQ, The Main Ingredient and The Temptations along with reggae acts out of Jamaica appearing in New York. After several years working and studying to develop his skills and craft as a producer and singer, he returned to the studios, armed with a lot of experience earned throughout the years, to produce a number of albums, including some of his own such as “Try A Little Happiness” (Puff Records), “Reality” (Zola & Zola) “Showcase” (Love People Records), “Signs & Wonder” (Rhino Records) and “Jamaica Pre-Release” (Hawk Records).
