Artist Biography
Jamaican icon Cecil Campbell, known to the world as Prince Buster, was one of the earliest and most influential ska singers. His '60s hits, such as "Oh Carolina" (a hit decades later for Shaggy too) and "Al Capone" put ska in the forefront of Jamaican popular music. Buster's success spread over to England, where a strong audience for ska was developing among British mods and skinheads. When ska and rocksteady gave way to reggae by the end of the decade, Buster's star began to dim, and the strategic singer started focusing on business interests. ~ Jim Allen
