Kenny Carlton - Blue Rock

[Sunnysoul]

Looking for some bio information on Kenny Carlton who recorded "Lost and Found" on Blue Rock.

 

There doesn't appear to be any information on him. Was Kenny Carlton a pseudonym?

 

Was his Blue Rock release his only recording? 

 

Any information would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks

The notes in the Goldmine CD "Lost & Found" speculate as to whether Kenny Carlton was in fact Kenny Carter who recorded for RCA.  Anyone?

[Robbk]

I've played "Lost and Found" and "Gotta Get Myself Together" back-to-back many times, and the voices sound very very much like the same person.  I'd guess that Kenny Carlton is Kenny Carter.

Thanks Robb ... seems that no one else has any information to offer ..

Sorry I totally disagree. I've got an unreleased LP by Kenny Carter and play it regularly along with his released tracks before and after and on neither of the Blue Rock sides does he have any of Kenny's many vocal inflexions.

Any info on Kenny Carlton himself,  Ady ?

[Ady Croasdell]

He was from Kent, Ohio ironically. I put a fair bit about his RCA sessions in the Larry Banks Story CD and Dave Godin wrote a bit about him in his first Deep Soul Treasures

You're talking about Kenny Carter here, rather than Kenny Carlton, right?

[Ady Croasdell]

Sorry, yes Ohio and Kenneth Head are Kenny Carter and we don't know anything about Kenny Carlton. Thanks Robb
