Information About

Pluto Shervington




He is best known for his single ''Dat'' - about a Rastafarian with a secret liking for pork, contrary to his faith - which achieved considerable chart success internationally in 1976 . He got into the Top Twenty in the UK Singles Chart again some six years later, with another best selling cut, entitled ''Your Honour''. This song dealt with a prisoner's courtroom pleas of innocence, in the face of insurmountable evidence to the contrary. The song's racy nature, and comical styling is in the best traditions of Calypso , and many elements of Reggae .

Pluto Shervington forsook his West Indian homeland in the 1980s when he moved to Miami , Florida . Nevertheless he returns to his roots periodically to perform.
