Jamaican singer Pluto Shervington, known for hit songs like ‘Ram Goat Liver’, ‘I Man Born Yah’, and ‘Your Honour’, has died.
The 73-year-old entertainer who died at a hospital in Florida on Friday morning had been living in Miami, since the early 1980s.
Born Leighton Keith Shervington on August 13, 1950, the singer was also known as a songwriter, engineer, and producer.
At the age of 16, Shervington joined a band called The Presidents in 1966, leaving a year later to join The Hurricanes, and then moving on to join the Tomorrow’s Children showband.
After going solo, he achieved a hit in 1976 with ‘Ram Goat Liver’, a comical song about a man’s love for goat meat and its perceived benefits to “make your daughter (your female companion) walk and talk”.
Shervington followed up with hits such as ‘Dat’, which reached Number Six on the UK Singles Chart in 1976.
