Prince Buster was a sound man., a producer, a writer, a singer,
a comedian, a force to be reckonned with virtually from the outset.
He and Derrick Morgan ran a musical 'feud' that had almost the
entire country buzzing and laughing. He challenged Duke Reid
and Clement Dodd 'up close and personal' both with his outstanding
sound system [Voice of the People] and with his recordings. And
while all of this was going on he entrenched himself in the minds
of Jamaicans as an entertainment icon. In many ways he really
was the voice of the people...at least until the late 60s. Perhaps
it was his belief in Islam that prompted him to stear clear of
the Rastafari movement. By the time the 70s had rolled in...Buster
was no longer in tune with the pulse and beat of the record buying
public.
