Last update: Saturday 20th of March 2010 Jonathan Butler Jonathan Butler (born October 1961 in Cape Town, South Africa) is a singer-songwriter and guitarist. His music is often classified as R&B, jazz fusion or smooth jazz. Born and raised in Cape Town during Apartheid, Butler started singing and playing acoustic guitar as a child. Racial segregation and poverty during Apartheid has been the subject of many of his records. His first single, the first by a black artist played by white radio stations in the racially segregated South Africa, earned a Sarie Award, South Africa's equivalent to the Grammys. He began touring at the age of seven when he joined a travelling stage show, and was later signed up to perform on a string of hit recordings, turning him into a local teenage idol. In 1978 he found the inspiration and encouragement to begin expressing himself as a composer and songwriter when he joined Cape Town's best known jazz/rock outfit, Pacific Express. Two albums were recorded with the Express personnel, and some Pacific Express songs were later released on the 1988 "7th Avenue" album. Butler was signed to Jive Records in 1977, and in the early 1980s he moved to England where he remained for 17 years. His international breakthrough came in 1987 with his Grammy nominated hit "Lies" and his version of the Staple Singers song "If You're Ready (Come Go with Me)", which he performed with Ruby Turner. Butler maintained a loyal following in the 1980s and 1990s, in South Africa, the U.S. and Europe. Discography

Jonathan Butler in the news
NEW YORK -- A soldier who recently returned from Iraq has admitted he paid someone $500 to shoot him in the leg so he could avoid returning for another tour.Jonathan Aponte, 20, claimed he had been robbed and shot but changed his story when police questioned him, authorities said. Aponte, who was facing another eight-month tour, had been... Jonathan king reaching new lows to drum up some publicity for his dead career. The quality, content, and reaction to the song indicates it might have backfired somewhat. This writing by Jonathan Falwell hit a point that I had not thought of, or heard discussed in the debate on the Fairness Doctrine. The Fairness Doctrine is an offense against the 1st Amendment by the left. It will not only jeopardize our freedom of speech, but also our freedom of religion, both part of the First Amendment! Excellent commentary!
