It is with overwhelming joy that I wish my husband Prince Buster, the pioneer of SKA music and the Original Voice of the People a very Happy Birthday!!
Your rhythm still moves the world.
He would have been 88 years old today.
Born Cecil Campbell on May 24, 1938, in the heart of Kingston, Jamaica, he rose from the rough streets of Orange Street to become one of the most influential architects of Jamaican Music. From his legendary sound system "Voice of the People, " he gave the working class their soundtrack, their swagger and their Voice.
His catalog reads like the Bible of Ska: "Madness, Al Capone, One Step Beyond, Judge Dread, Hard Man Fe Dead, Ten Commandments, Enjoy Yourself. Songs that defined a generation , shaped rocksteady and paved the road for reggae, lit the fire for the 2-tone movement- Madness, The Specials, and The Selecter all have paid homage to him.
A Husband, Father, Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Philosopher, Boxer, A revolutionary. A man who turned off beat rhythms into a global movement that gave Jamaica a sound the world would never stop dancing too.
Happy Birthday, King!
Your Rhythm still rules the dancehall and your legacy plays on forever. ๐๐ผ
This is really amazing. So much of the best writing just sits gathering dust in old magazines, and might as well not exist. Incredible to have this resource.

@JoeKaplan21@Albumism Joe Kaplan got it right. Hands down "Who's Next" is the best Who album. Heck, it's better than a lot of other albums by other bands.
Well some mass market paperbacks from the day do have ads. (Ads for other books don't count.) This from a Max Brand Western paperback from 1973. "South of the Rio Grande."
Happy birthday to dearly departed The Selecter founding member, Arthur Gaps Hendrickson. Sadly & profoundly missed, but your voice, style and wit are always with us in memory. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธPauline xx
Evangeline Lilly, who plays Hope van Dyne/Wasp in the MCU, blasts Disney for laying off artists at Marvel Studios:
"SHAME ON YOU for turning your back on the people who built the power you are now using to throw them away. Why [does AI] get to steal our brilliance and use it to make executives rich while the artists responsible for feeding their robots go hungry? Disgusting... To the Marvel Studios artists who designed and brought to life the glory days of Marvel...I salute you. I was there. I know what you did. I know how passionately you worked round the clock to make magic happen. You are the magicians, no matter what the Wizards of our new Oz make it look like going forward. I will never forget."

A daily reminder that after Disney paid $0 in federal income taxes, got a $1.4 billion tax refund, made $12 billion in profits, spent $7 billion on stock buybacks and paid its CEO $46 million in compensation last year, it laid off 1,000 workers. Trickle down economics is a scam.
Evangeline Lilly has called out Disney for being โdisgusting and horribleโ after they laid off almost all of Marvel's visual development team.

@dewirahmat_@Leni1680234 Nothing new here. This old video trick that has been done so, so many times before in music videos going back to the 1980's. Only the main subject walks backward through whole scene then the scene is played in reverse in postproduction.
