Biography
British reggae singer, born in London, who was 21 years old when her single [i][Link][/i] rocketed to No. 2 on the UK chart in the summer of 1979. It was one of Britain's biggest ever reggae hits, and was a perfect example of the genre's tender soulful category known as [url=https://www.discogs.com/style/lovers+rock]Lovers Rock[/url]. Kay was on vacation in the Netherlands at the time of the records success, unaware that [i]Silly Games[/i] was climbing the charts. During the late 1970s and early 80s, reggae (including Kay's other records) was widely ignored by the radio establishment in Britain. [i]Silly Games[/i] had a quirky distinguishing feature, that of Janet's thin voice straining to reach the ultra-high notes of the song's climax. It remained her only pop crossover hit, but later records (such as the 1982 album [i][Link][/i], produced by leading UK reggae wizard [a58333]) continued to be well received in the specialist market.
