Jamcaica is where its happening. Kingston Jamaica is where the great Sounds, Soul Sounds, the rocking beat is coming fronm these days.

Here are three young men, each of superb talent, but each sublimates his individual talent to the interest of the group, the consequent merging, the the best of Maurice, Harris and Winston, makes possible the distinctive factor that makes the Gaylads the thing.

In the musical era where the vocal group has an average life of expectancy in Recording, it is a phenomenon indeed to witness a Trio such as the Gaylads, for here is the top echelons of ROCK STEADY, stardom is a group (among the very few) whose success dates back to their first recording in 1960 and whose future is as bright as any star in showbuisiness.

Versatility is quite evident in the Maurice, Harris and Winsto combination, their records go big, from Folk, Pop to Rock steady, but this again just seems natural fror the Gaylads.

To this work the Gaylads bring the richly faceted influence of completely diverse backgrounds and the distinctive solo talent of thre totally different personalities.
