time 8,624 Posted August 13, 2023 Jamaican singer Pluto Shervington (also known mononymously as Pluto) is 73 today. He had a top 10 hit in 1976, with Dat, a tale of a Rastafarian, attempting to buy (cheap) pork - against his religion - in order to save money to buy marijuana, 'Dat' alluding to the pork in question without mentioning it by name. Delivered in patois, it reached number 6, and prompted his record label to reissue his previously unsuccessful single Ram Goat Liver, which again failed to hit the top 40. He had a further hit in 1982 with the previously unreleased 1975 track Your Honour which reached number 19. This track will also most likely appeal to a certain demographic. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
