Prince Buster features on this compilation and on the front cover, a massive influence on the ska revival of two-tone later on in the UK. Prince Buster was openly Muslim and spent a lot of his free time helping out at his local Mosque. If I had to pick a favourite reggae musician, it would be Prince Buster. I spent a long time listening to him on my travels around Italy. His music hasn't aged a day. It is still fresh, funny and simple. He is known to have plenty of horns in his music and incredible vocals. The day Prince Buster died was when ska died, as he passed in 2016.
