Tamlins

Carlton Smith, Junior Moore, and Derrick Lara (the Tamlins) are among the most widely respected backup singers in reggae, especially for their years of international touring in support of Peter Tosh. They have backed John Holt, Delroy Wilson, Pat Kelly, Marcia Griffiths, and a host of others, as well as recording on their own. Lara's ethereally high lead vocals bring to mind the best of '70s Philly soul music, a style they have often covered. ~ Roger Steffens
