Producer/keyboardist/singer, "Tall T" aka Lloyd "Charmers" Tyrell starting out as half of the 50s reggae duo, The Charmers. An accomplished sessions musician through the 60s, he joined Slim Smith and The Uniques in 1967 before going on to produce and record many covers of American soul songs with various Jamaican artists, including Ken Boothe.
In the early 1970s Lloyd started the Jamaican Splash label. Don't have a definitive source on the back up band on this recording. Not certain. May be or likely, "The Touchers" were guitarist Mikey Chung and The Now Generation Band who were working with Lloyd Charmers around this time.
