Prince Buster - FABulous Greatest Hits


Cecil Bustamente Campbell (24 May 1938-8 September 2016), known professionally as Prince Buster, was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and producer.
In 1961, Campbell released his first single "Little Honey"/"Luke Lane Shuffle" featuring Jah Jerry Haynes, Arkland "Drumbago" Parks and Rico Rodriquez recording under the name of Buster's Group.
Campbell recorded throughout the 1960s with notable early ska releases include: "Madness" (1963), "Wash Wash" (1963), "One Step Beyond" (1964), "Al Capone" (1964), "Hard Man Fe Dead" (1966), "Too Hot" (1966) and "Rough Rider" (1968).
