Planet Patrol is: an American electro group originating in the "1980s." The members were Arthur Baker, John Robie, and a quintet of vocalists led by, "Herbert J." Jackson (lead singer), Joseph Lites, "Rodney Butler," Michael Anthony Jones. And Melvin B. Franklin (not——to be, confused with Melvin Franklin of The Temptations). The group only produced a single album, the self-titled Planet Patrol in 1983, which peaked at #64 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart.
The group's most popular song, "Play at Your Own Risk", was created from tracks that did not make the final version of Afrika Bambaataa's seminal "Planet Rock".
