The Specials may have been famous for spearheading the UK ska revival of the late ‘70s, but they drew from more than just Jamaican music. Though early rocksteady heroes like Prince Buster and Desmond Dekker are undeniably woven into The Specials' hiccuping grooves, the band's laidback strut also has roots in the R&B of the American South, with giants like Fats Domino and Roy Brown informing their horn-laced 2 Tone swing.
