The Mighty Pope (born Earle Heedram; October 23, 1945) is a Jamaican-Canadian singer.
Known for his vocal strength and sharp visual presentation he was marketed as a something of a "sex symbol" at the height of his recording career in the mid-to-late 1970s.
In 1978, Pope signed with Quality Records after sessions for a second RCA album were aborted (unreleased demos were recorded in Detroit throughout 1978 with Van De Pitte). New producer John Driscoll surrounded Pope with top-notch talent for his next recording project, among them Italian-Canadian disco icon Gino Soccio, for his second solo album, "Sway." The album quickly shot up the club charts worldwide and was additionally picked up for American release by RFC Records. The first 12" single was a remake of the Bobby Rydell's 1960 hit "Sway" followed by dance floor smash "Sweet Blindness". Both songs were remixed by Jim Burgess and scored Top 40 placement on the U.S. disco charts assisted by promotional tours to Studio 54, national TV, media, and extended cross-Canadian touring.
