The Beltones were a vocal group that recorded for Coxsone Dodd, Harry Johnson, and Sonia Pottinger during the rocksteady and early reggae years. Their most famous release was undoubtedly “No More Heartaches,” released in 1968 on the Harry J imprint in Jamaica and Trojan in the UK. This great Duke double-sider was also produced by Harry Johnson and features Trevor Shields on lead vocals, backed by Keith Mitchell and Owen Laing.
Thanks to Trevor Shields for the corrections from my original post and for the additional information.
My name is Trevor Shields the former lead singer of the belltones. I just wish to make a few corrections about the members of the group. The other members were Rudolph Simmonds, known as ‘Bop, Mr Legs’, Keith Mitchell and Owen Laing. After Bop left the group, I was elected the new lead-singer. Hal Lewinson and Leon Brown were of the Fantels, a group which I joined after the Belltones broke up. I would appreciate if you would make the necessary corrections. I can be contacted at the above email address for further comments…
Thanks
Trevor Shields
