BIOGRAPHY: Ken Brady was born
in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1944, is was the longtime lead singer of the world-famous
doo wop group, The Casinos. Today, Ken is a sought after solo performer
on the 'oldies circuit,' performing The Casinos hit song "Then You Can
Tell Me Goodbye," as well as all the loved standards from the 1950s, 60s
and 70s.
Ken began singing at
9 years of age when his parents placed him in local talent shows. Ken loved
singing and had the opportunity to share the stage with such artists as
The Students, The Shirelles, Chubby Checker, and Jerry Lee Lewis. He performed
with The Casinos, taking over for his longtime friend Gene Hughes, from
1962 through 1965, as their lead singer. Ken credits Ray White with teaching
him how to harmonize.
In 1965, Ken's good
friend Gene Hughes rejoined the group, while Ken pursued his solo career
in Dallas, TX, Atlanta, GA and Los Angeles, CA. Upon returning to Cincinnati,
he performed with such groups as "The What For" and "The Avenue".
In 1967 The Casinos
recorded John Loudermilk's song "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye". It was
a hit for 10 weeks, passing The Beatles and other groups from across the
pond.
Ken and Gene, true
friends always, celebrated the hit through the years, including during
Ken's tenure returning to the group for many years.
Today Ken sings "Then
You Can Tell Me Goodbye" and so many other hits of the 50's and 60's such
as 'Daddy's Home', ' Life Is But A Dream', 'Stand By Me' and 'I Believe'
which all are beautifully rendered by his wonderful tenor voice. Ken now
resides in Florida.
