Boothe seemed, at the time, to have the makings of an international, long-lasting, hit maker, certainly when compared to most of the other latter-day reggae acts. His smoother style gave him a wider appeal, rather like UB40 and Aswad. Boothe's choice of songs also showed the breadth of his musical taste. But for all that, he only managed one more hit in the UK Chart, "Crying over You", which made Number 11.
In more recent times, Boothe has also recorded for Bunny Lee, Phil Pratt, King Jammy, Pete Weston, Jack Ruby, Hugh "Red Man" James, Castro Brown, and Tappa Zukie. Plus in 1995, he teamed up with Shaggy, for a new styled version of his old track, "The Train Is Coming", which appeared on the soundtrack of the film, Money Train.
A double-disc overview of Boothe's Trojan years, Crying over You, was released by the label in 2001.

Ken Boothe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quiero controlar mis deseos, pero tu aroma incita mis besos.
Y mi piel Comienza a confundir lo que tus caricias quieren decir y a mi cuerpo,
En tu cuerpo esto no puede suceder respeto a alguien le debo de tener
Son tus besos y mis besos, voy a fugarme otra vez no quiero herirme, no se
Tengo miedo mucho miedo es importante lo es, mi corazón ya no cree esta
Seco ya muy seco.
Tus preguntas te alimentan tu ego, y me siento importante
De nuevo. Tengo rato mirándote de lejos me gusta los encuentros secretos
Y mi piel Comienza a confundir lo que tus caricias quieren decir y a mi cuerpo,
En tu cuerpo esto no puede suceder respeto a alguien le debo de tener
Son tus besos y mis besos, voy a fugarme otra vez no quiero herirme, no se
Tengo miedo mucho miedo es importante lo es, mi corazón ya no cree esta
Seco ya muy seco…
voy a fugarme otra vez no quiero herirme, no se
Tengo miedo mucho miedo es importante lo es, mi corazón ya no cree esta
Seco ya muy seco…oooh.!

The soulful voice of the great Ken Boothe, backed by the mighty Soul Vendors out of Studio One. One of the very best versions.

For 50 years, I thought that I did not like Ken Boothe. Then this randomly came up. WOW - absolutely love it. I see Ken in a whole new light now and will sample some of his other offerings.
