Pato Banton

Pato Banton is a reggae singer and toaster from Birmingham, England. He received the nickname Pato Banton from his stepfather: its first name derives from the sound of a Jamaican owl calling 'patoo, patoo', while its second comes from the disc jockey slang word 'banton', meaning heavyweight lyricist or storyteller. In 1994, he achieved a number 1 on the UK Singles Chart with a cover of The Equals' 'Baby, Come Back', featuring Robin and Ali Campbell of UB40.
