Beverley Kelso (born April 1948)[1] is a Jamaican singer best known as an early member of The Wailers.
Born in Kingston, Jamaica, she attended Miss Nembhard Preparatory School and Denham Town Primary School in Kingston.[1]
She was a backing vocalist, and one of the founding members of The Wailers (between 1963 and 1965).[2] According to Kelso, she sang on 25 tracks by the group, the last in late 1965.[1]
Kelso emigrated to the United States in 1979.[3]
The deaths of Junior Braithwaite in 1999, of Cherry Smith in 2008, and of Bunny Wailer in 2021 have left Kelso as the only surviving founding member of the Wailers.[4]
In 2012 she stated that she was planning to write a book about her time in The Wailers.[3] She now lives in Brooklyn, New York.[1]
