You're No Good
Ken Boothe Lyrics
You're no good for what you have done, baby
You broke my heart and you went away
You're no good because you leave me crying over you
Leave me wondering, you're no good, baby
You're no good for what you have done to me
You've left me baby without any money
You're no good, baby, you're no good,
You're no good for me, baby
You're no good for what you have done to me
You're no good, baby, you're no good,
You're no good for me baby
You're no good, baby, alright,
You're no good because you leave me crying
Leave me wondering, oh, baby,
Leave me thinking on you, oh baby ...

Boothe started by recording a version of Sandie Shaw's "Puppet on a String" in 1967. Later the same year, Boothe and Alton Ellis had a successful U.K. tour with the group The Soul Vendors. Under new direction from record producer Lloyd Chalmers, the song "Everything I Own" surprisingly was Number One in the UK in 1974. The song, written by David Gates, was given a sympathetic light reggae feel and found instant favour in the West Indies and in the U.K.
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.
