Since the mid-’70s, the Itals have been dedicated to keeping roots-reggae alive. They are a harmony trio noted for their strong voices, close harmonies, and sharp Rasta lyrics that stress cultural consciousness; even their few love songs are written from that perspective.
The first incarnation of the group was founded by lead singer/head songwriter Keith Porter and Ronnie Davis. Originally known as the Westmorlites (both Porter and Davis were raised in Westmorland), the band included such other members as Roy Smith, Lee White and Lloyd Ricketts. The Westmorlites stayed together long enough to record one single “Hitey Titey” on the Studio One label and then Davis left to sing leads with the Tennors, another successful early harmony band. From there, Davis went on to become a distinguished solo artist with several albums and over thirty 45s to his credit. Porter also embarked upon a solo career and recorded for several different Kingston producers including Clancy Eccles, but eventually he tired of the scene there and returned to the country where he performed with different groups on the hotel circuit and in small local clubs.
Eventually, Porter decided to record again and returned to Kingston where he ran into Davis. The latter had just written a new tune,” Won’t You Come Home,” and asked if Porter could provide some lyrics. Porter enthusiastically agreed, returned to the country, and two days later returned with “In A Dis Ya Time.
