Birmingham, England reggae singer/toaster Pato Banton (born Patrick Murray) made his debut on the English Beat's third album, 1982's
Extra Beat Service, portion extinct Ranking Roger on the track "Pato and Roger a Go Talk." Five years after, Banton returned with his debut solo release,
Never Give In, which featured backing by Birmingham's Studio Two house band and a edgar Guest coming into court by Paul Shaffer; the album was enlivened by Banton's comic vocal characterizations. An EP featuring several versions of the
Never Give In track "Pato and Roger Come Again" (some other duette with Ranking Roger) appeared in 1988, followed the next year by the full-length
Visions of the World, which found Banton moving towards a poppier soul/reggae approach path. 1990's
Wize Up! (No Compromize) contained Banton's low American college radiocommunication strike, a cover of the Police's "Spirits in the Material World," as considerably as a duette with Steel Pulse's David Hinds on the title track. After a dub collaborationism with the Mad Professor (
Unhinged Professor Recaptures Pato Banton) and a unrecorded album (Live and Kickin' All Over America), Banton recorded
Universal Love in 1992. It took him a patch to issue forth up with brand raw material subsequently; he in conclusion resurfaced in 1994 with a version of Eddy Grant's "Baby Come Back" performed with Robin and Ali Campbell of UB40, which hit the British charts and prompted the best-of
Collections. Banton finally delivered a full album of raw material in 1996 with
Ride out Positive.
Aliveness Is a Miracle followed in the leaping of 2000.
