The Itals
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Itals
https://www.italsmusic.com/
The Itals are a legendary Jamaican reggae vocal group, formed in 1976 by Alvin "Keith" Porter, Lloyd Ricketts, and Ronnie Davis, all of whom had previously also recorded as solo artists. All three had worked together in the late 1960s in The Westmorelites. The group recorded several albums through the late 1970s and 1980s, with Ronnie Davis going on to a successful solo career in 1997 as Ronnie Davis and Idren. The Itals' debut single, "In A Dis Ya Time", is regarded as the group's finest work, and topped the Jamaican chart. 1987's Rasta Philosophy was nominated for a Grammy Award as Best Reggae Album. The lineup has changed over the years, with former solo artist David Isaacs joining in 1987 when Ricketts was sentenced to a prison term, preventing him from travelling to the United States. Davis left the group in 1994, and was replaced by Porter's daughter Kada. Today the band tours as Isaacs, and Keith and Kada Porter.

The Itals are still in full bloom, vital and bearing ripe fruit. Out of Savana La Mar, Jamaica, for many years Keith Porter and the Itals have been one of the hardest working reggae acts out there - still fresh, strong and in good health and spirits. The Itals have the drive and perseverance to perform in some of the farthest outposts where they are greatly loved and respected by their fans. The Itals have been one of the forefront touring reggae acts since the early eighties spreading the message of love and oneness to humanity. You hear their music playing all over the world. Keith Porter has proven himself to be one of the strongest artists in the business. His endurance is remarkable; he "never gets weary". The Itals are living examples of the "Rasta Philosophy" - the album that was nominated for the Grammies.
