Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index Neville Staples was a roadie turned singer for the second-wave ska band The Specials. His deep baritone voice often added the punch phrases and spoken "skats" to counterpoint the melodies. Neville`s imposing stature (close to 2 meters tall), combined with his dreadlocked hair tossing about as he skanked on stage, often dominated the shows. Along with Terry Hall and Lynval Golding, he formed Fun Boy Three. Neville now does solo work and lives in the USA. In the late 1990s, Neville joined Ranking Roger from The English Beat to form Special Beat, a revival group playing hits from both former two-tone bands. This article is from Wikipedia.
