The Kayettes were named after pioneering Philadelphia disc jockey, musician and record producer Kae Williams. The group, which made their own records and also recorded backgrounds for other of Williams’s groups, included Williams's artists like Ernestine Eady. Kae Williams recorded the Silhouettes’ “Get a Job,” Yvonne Baker and the Sensations’ “Let Me In” among a large group of Philadelphia artists in the 1950s and 60s. He was a noted jazz musician in his own right and broke new ground in the studio by mixing fine musicianship and a jazz-oriented sense of improvisation, not just for the musicians but also for the singers and arrangements.
