Leighton Keith "Pluto" Shervington was born on August 13, 1950, in Saint Andrew Parish, Kingston, Jamaica. He started his musical career at age 16 as a singer with The Presidents and later joined The Hurricanes and Tomorrow's Children. Inspired by the success of Ernie Smith’s "Duppy or a Gunman" and Tinga Stewart’s "Play de Music", he recorded "Ram Goat Liver", which caught the attention of Lee "Scratch" Perry, leading to a popular version with Jimmy Riley. In 1972, after Tomorrow's Children disbanded, he founded Sound Associates Limited, a recording studio in New Kingston. His single "Dat" achieved international success in 1976, reaching number six on the UK Singles Chart and earning him appearances on BBC’s Top of the Pops. Notable singles include "Your Honour" and "I Man Born Ya", recorded at Federal Records with musicians including Val Douglas and Willie Lindo. He moved to Miami, Florida, in 1977 and continued recording. He was awarded the Living Legend award at King's House, Jamaica, in 2004. Pluto Shervington died on January 19, 2024, at age 73 from pneumonia-related complications.
