Dave Benton (born 31 January 1951, real name Efrén Eugene Benita) is a pop musician and 2001 winner of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Benton was born in 1951 on the Caribbean island of Aruba and in his 20s moved to the United States. As a drummer and a backing vocalist, he worked with The Drifters, Tom Jones, Billy Ocean, José Feliciano and the Platters.
While living in the Netherlands in the 1980s, he met his future Estonian wife Maris on a cruise ship, then settled in Estonia in 1997. He has had a varied musical career in Northern European countries. He now lives in Estonia with his wife and two daughters, Sissi and Lisa. He performed in the German production of the musical 'City Lights' after which he was asked to replace Engelbert Humperdinck on his Australian tour.
Though he has released and produced quite a few albums already, one of which in his native tongue, Papiamento, his career to date shows him to be more of a performing artist rather than a recording one.
Benton is octolingual, speaking English, Spanish, Papiamento, Dutch, French, German, Portuguese, and Estonian.

I've just updated this series of video clips (sorry about the poor quality) taken at an event featuring guest speaker, Kris Paronto, ex US Army Ranger. Kris was in Benghazi, Lybia on September 11, 2012, (which also was the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York, NY), when another terrorist attack on the US State Department Diplomatic Compound and a nearby CIA station occurred. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, along with 4 other Americans died that night.
