with Ken Johnson and his West Indians with Betty Kent, Don Johnson and the Johnsonaires
Ken Johnson, who has acquired the nickname of 'Snake-hips' for reasons that are obvious to those who have seen him on the stage, has been playing in this country now for over three years. When forming his West Indian Dance Orchestra, which gave its first broadcast in January, 1938, Ken undertook a long search for talent through the West Indies. The fifteen members of the band come from Barbados, British Guiana, Trinidad, Grenada, and Jamaica, and all of them are British subjects.
