Hilliard “Sweet Pea” Atkinson
“Sweet Pea” Atkinson was a passionate – yet highly underrated – soul singer. He is perhaps best known as the lead singer for the band “Was (Not Was)”…a band that stirred strains of jazz, country, metal, funk and disco into a stew all its own. They had a run of hits in the 1980s, including this one, a dance club staple…”Walk The Dinosaur.” Sweet Pea once walked with dinosaurs. Now he walks with angels.
