The Tartans were a rocksteady group who came together in 1967 in Kingston, Jamaica. The members were initially Prince Lincoln Thompson, Cedric Myton, Devon Russell and Lindberg Lewis.

Their recorded output included 'Far Beyond the Sun' for Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label, 'Dance All Night', 'What Can I Say', and six tracks recorded for Ken Lack's Caltone label: 'Awake The Town', 'Coming On Strong', 'It's Alright', 'Making Love', 'Save a Little Bread' and 'Solid as a Rock'.

'Lonely Heartaches' by The Clarendonians was incorrectly credited to 'The Tartons' [sic] when released in the UK on Crab.

After the group split, Thompson went on to form The Royal Rasses and Myton The Congos.
