I loved Prince Buster when I was a kid and especially loved the Special AKA tribute to him, Gangsters. RIP to a great artist.

Wasn't Madness's The Prince more of a tribute than The Specials Gangsters?

I love Britain's love affair with ska. Having had an Irish upbringing in England, it shouldn't mean that much to me, but it's one of my fave musical styles

R.I.P. Buster. If this man didnt't get your legs shoogling, then nothing would. Heres a looong sample of him in concert from fundraising gigs for Osaka, in Japan in 2003.

Simon Mayo (Radio 2. Mon-Fri; 17:00 - 19:00) played that on Friday, instead of his usual version of it

He did some very naughty songs. I still love "Big Five" and "Wreck a Pum-Pum". Grind it mon.
