C&L's Music Club Remembers Prince Buster

RIP Prince Buster
By Dale Merrill — September 8, 2016

Jamaica's first international musical legend has passed away. Born Cecil Bustamente Campbell on Kingston's Orange Street (a place considered where the heart and rhythm of the country beats to this day) Prince Buster, as singer, songwriter and producer, made sounds that created a foundation for ska, rocksteady and reggae to build off of.

May all the rude boys and girls dance a little bit more tonight.

RIP Prince Buster (May 24th, 1938 - September 8th, 2016)
