Byron du Plessis - Love has the power

South African singer, born Jean-Michel Byron du Plessis in East London in 1957. He attended John Bissicker High School and sang at school concerts and community shows. His musical career started in 1983 as a session singer, although he also sang with various groups doing mostly cover songs. Byron joined Toto for their “Past to Present 1977–1990” album, singing on four new tracks that were included on the album, including "Love Has The Power". He mixed rock music with R&B, which was very different from Toto’s previous vocalists, in the style of artists such as George Michael. The album proved to be a hit after being released in mid-1990, reaching the Top 20 Charts in countries such as Germany and Switzerland. However, during the supporting tour to promote the album, Byron and the band members began to openly clash. His on-stage antics and diva-like behaviour angered other band members and Toto fans alike, to such an extent that he was fired from the band and all the songs that he sang on the “Toto Live” video were cut. After being kicked out of Toto, Byron released a solo album titled “Byron”, which contains an alternate version of "Love Has The Power". Since then, he has collaborated with the group "Michael Sanders & The One Tribe Nation", a band that plays a mix of jazz rock with funk, world music, and more, and he appeared on their 2005 debut album “Servants Of A Lesser God”. He also contributed to the Star Jasmine Music Foundation Project's 2007 release, titled “Star Jasmine”. In 2021 he was on the jury for the regional finals of the Italian music talent show “Sanremo Rock”, during which he performed in a live jam session with Nora Hime (aka Eleonora Almont). This song is from the album "Byron", released in 1991.
