Remembering Ska’s Godfather

Prince Buster tribute: don't call me Scarface

All the Two-Tone ska bands came out from under Prince Buster's coat.

Madness was named after a Prince Buster song, covered another, One Step Beyond, and one of their first singles was The Prince, a tribute to him.

The Special's first single, Gangsters, was a reworking of his song Al Capone Their version of Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think) was based on his.

The English Beat's first album had covers of his Whine and Grind and Rough Rider

Facial structure much like young Cassius Clay.

I like his jacket.
