Ken Tobias

As a special gift for his fans on this Valentines Day 2021, here is one of Ken's best love songs. This Kind of Feeling was originally recorded in 1969 and appeared on the B-Side of Ken's first hit single You're Not Even Going To The Fair produced by Bill Medley. Recently Ken decided to re-record the song but this time stripped down to its essence, close to how he wrote it those many years ago. Ken hopes you enjoy this new version and that on this day you will share love and compassion with those close to you and especially to those front line workers and medical staff looking after us in this crisis. Happy Valentines Day.

Today is the 50th Anniversary of the release of Stay Awhile by The Bells. The song went on to reach number 7 on the Billboard charts on March 27, 1971 and has sold over 3 million worldwide. It has been covered by many people including some of the biggest stars in China. Congratulations to Ken Tobias on writing one of the great love songs for the ages.

Ken Tobias shows real skill as a storyteller in his new song Under The Desert Sun. He paints vivid cinematic imagery with his words, to the point that you can almost feel the heat of the hot desert sun. His music is the perfect underscore for his word-jazz dramatic narrative. Previewing on SoundCloud.

Happy Birthday Ken!
