The Aces (Jamaican group)
The Aces, originally known as The Four Aces, were a Jamaican vocal group who are best known for their work with Desmond Dekker.
==History==
The initial line-up of The Aces consisted of Clive Campbell, Barry Howard, Carl Howard, and Patrick Howard.〔Larkin, Colin (1998) ''The Virgin Encyclopedia of Reggae'', Virgin Books, ISBN 0-7535-0242-9, p.5-6〕 The group came to the attention of Dekker, who supported them when they auditioned for Leslie Kong at Beverley's studio in 1965.〔 Kong employed the group as backing singers for Dekker and they can be heard on the song "Get Up Adinah" (credited as The Four Aces). They provided the backing vocals on Dekker's major hit "007 (Shanty Town)" as well as the track "Music Like Dirt (Intensified '68)" (the winning song of the 1968 Jamaica Independence Festival Song Contest).〔 By 1967 the only remaining original members were Barry Howard and Winston Samuels and it is their backing vocals featured on "Israelites".〔 Dekker's international success led to him touring overseas though The Aces did not accompany him due to Samuels refusal to fly (Samuels stating that "Rastas did not fly on iron birds") and Barry Howard's decision to emigrate to the United States.〔Kevin O'Brien Chang & Wayne Chen (1998) ''Reggae Routes: The Story of Jamaican Music'', Ian Randle Publishers, ISBN 976-8100-67-2, p.103〕 The Aces continued to record under their own name (without Dekker) and had a Jamaican hit in 1970 with "Mademoiselle Ninette". By 1971 the line-up had changed again, with Barry Howard now rejoined by Carl Hall. A string of hits followed with "Reggae Motion", "Take a Look", "Oh I Miss You", "Call Me Number One", "Be My Baby", and "Sad Sad Song". The song "Working on it Night and Day", though not a hit, did enter the pop charts in 1973.〔 Little more was heard from the group until 1982 when they released "One Way Street".〔
