About This Title

George Banton began his singing career in the churches of St. Elizabeth parish in Jamaica. He emigrated to Canada in 1976 and began performing various styles and scored a number-one R&B hit with “Faithful and True” in the early 80s. Other hits followed, including the self-penned “Honey I Will”. He has been twice nominated for the coveted JUNO Award and continues to touch audiences in Toronto and beyond with a style that reaches from Joe Tex to ZZ Hill and a soulful delivery that remains forever connected to the church choirs of Jamaica.
