Neville Staple-Legends Of Ska

E-mail Print PDF
Best known for his work writing & composing, as the lead singer of The Specials, and as one of the founding members of Fun Boy 3, Neville Staple is credited with changing the face of pop music not only once but twice.

Neville's biography and past projects read like a who's who of rock. He has worked with such legends as Elvis Costello (The Specials 1979 - Chrysalis Records), David Byrne (Fun Boy 3 Waiting 1983 - Chrysalis Records), and Ali Campbell (Today's Specials 1996 - Kuff Records/Virgin), to name only a few.

His talents are found on the unique tribute album, Searching For Jimi Hendrix (1999 - Capitol Records) a project that Neville is personally quite proud of. In addition to having recorded with some of rock's most famous, he has also shared the stage with such icons as Ranking Roger (English Beat) forming Special Beat. Although this line-up never actually recorded an album they successfully toured the U.S. with Sting and Steel Pulse, which ultimately lead up to their own headline tour.

Since 1998 Neville has been on a mission to entertain, successfully touring Japan, South America and extensively touring North America with his own band. Above all he is a performer. It is worth seeing Neville's live performance, his captivation stage presence and distinct voice are well worth it.

Catch his show these days, and you'll get a mix of old favourites plus loads of his brand new original solo material. Neville Staple has been recording in both the UK for 525 Music Productions at Planet Studios, and in Southern California recording and writing. These tracks will be on his new solo album of all original material. In the meantime look for Neville on tour.
