 Neville Staples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neville Staples was a roadie turned singer for the second-wave ska band The Specials.
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.
In the late 1990s, Neville joined Ranking Roger from The Beat to form Special Beat, a revival group playing hits from both former two-tone bands.

 Edinburgh Evening News - What's On - Staples still has that special quality
Having lived in the States for the last ten years, Staples is back in the UK touring to promote his first solo album, The Rude Boy Returns, 25 years after he first shot to fame with Coventry’s most successful pop group.
But while Staples raves about his love for touring, stressing how good it is to be back on tour in the UK, he is quick to point out that he is now entertaining his most critical fan base, the British public.
When the young Staples was hired to hump speakers for the ska-influenced band The Coventry Automatics - later The Specials - in 1977, it wasn’t long before his deep baritone voice got him noticed and he found himself sharing the limelight up front with Terry Hall.

 The Mick Sinclair Archive: The Fun Boy Three
The atmosphere reminded me of a Jam or Duran Duran gig, events where the fanatical adulation and size of the venue could often occlude any possibility of communication or warmth between audience and performer.
Neville and Terry are void of the assumed kind of pop 'charisma' and the practised adoption of 'star quality'.
Their testing of the audience is on a strictly humane level, full of humour and good spirit, never patronising or conceited.

 Musician Forums - When Icons Go Bad- Tosser of the Day goes to Neville Staples
Mr Staples seems to have lost any sense of humility, along with all original members of the Specials, and has instead acquired the arrogance of many a wanker that takes the stage.
It's all show- Mr Staples went thru all the classic Special numbers in a recent gig, performing them as if they were wholly his own.
Meanwhile backstage Mr Staples really let himself (and the Specials down), where he refused to let the support band any use of the dressing room, and refused them the use of their equipment whereby they had to skoot home to pick up an amp.

 The Blind Boys of Alabama featuring Clarence Fountain -- About the Group
There are special instrumental guest performances by Richard Thompson (electric guitar) and Robert Randolph (pedal steel guitar) in addition to a superb studio band, led by organist John Medeski (of Medeski, Martin & Wood fame) with jump-blues guitar ace Duke Robillard and the peerless rhythm section of Danny Thompson (double bass) and Michael Jerome (drums).
On a superb a cappella version of this Yuletide hymn, recorded live in a New Orleans studio, Aaron Neville sings delicate filigrees of counter-melody in and around the Blind Boys' chorale.
This (literally) breathtaking circular chant-song finds Mavis Staples in typically exuberant form, and no wonder: "That song was based on the version that the Staples Singers recorded in 1959 for our Christmas album THE 25TH DAY OF DECEMBER," she explains.

 2 Tone Records - Artists - The Specials
The Specials were formed in Coventry, in 1977, as The Coventry Automatics and later The Special A.K.A. by Jerry Dammers, with Terry Hall (vocals), Lynval Golding (guitar, vocals), Neville Staples (vocals, percussion), Roddy Radiation (guitar), Horace Gentleman (bass), and Silverton (drums) (later replaced by John Bradbury).
An opening slot for the Clash stirred up interest with the major labels, but Dammers instead opted to start his own 2 Tone label, named for its multiracial agenda and after the two-tone tonic suits favored by the like-minded mods of the '60s.
Hall, Staples, and Golding left to form Fun Boy Three, leaving the band without its trademark voice.
