Pato Banton (go Pato Singer) Biography, Songs downloads and social life

Pato Banton (born Patrick Murray) of Birmingham, England made his debut on the English Beat's third album, 1982's Special Beat Service, assisting Ranking Roger on the track "Pato and Roger a Go Talk." Never Give In, Banton's debut solo release five years later, featured backing by Birmingham's Studio Two house band and a guest appearance by Paul Shaffer; the album was enlivened by Banton's comic vocal characterizations. In 1988, an EP featuring several versions of the Never Give In track "Pato and Roger Come Again" (another duet with Ranking Roger) was released, followed by the full-length Visions of the World the following year, which found Banton moving towards a poppier soul/reggae approach.
