Sammy no Dead by Clancy Eccles is another great ska tune on a similar theme.

[silentdodd]

[IBumpg]

Prince Buster found fry fishes IN THE SEA. Amazing!! I laugh everytime I hear this song.

[jammigal59]

@IBumpg He did not find fried fish in the sea. He fried all the fish that they caught in the sea. Back then, chocolate tea (hot chocolate made from real cocoa and fried fish was traditional fare for the Nine Nite repast. Nine Nite is a whole other story.

[TheRastachick1]

@jammigal59 : Interesting what does this song mean. If you know please share I love this song but dont understand what it exactly means. I took it as don't give up.

[404Orion]

@02madre She's not white

[royalmarine1664]

@02madre I know yeah .I hope her dad more than likely irish or of irish decent did not see this .

[kwacou]

@02madre She's not white. In fact she's my cousin. That pic was taken in Jamaica 1960's at Sombrero Club.

[kwacou]

@02madre Look at some of the footage Sombrero Club Jamaica.There are 4 parts on YouTube.All those people are Jamaicans.In Jamaica we have people of African,Asian (Indian/Chinese)European, Arabs with unimaginable mixes from the various racial groups.We are all Jamaicans and identify ourselves as that. We don't segregate on race but sadly,on wealth.The races in Jamaica have been mixing since the Spanish arrival in 1494.Take a trip there, you'll be welcomed and see and learn who the Jamaicans are.

[HardGalFeDead]

@kwacou out of many, one people :)

Man what happen to these classics

[Questionl0gic]

I love the roots of rudeboy.

the beginning of ska/reggae is way better than the crap now days.

[TheRastachick1]

@Questionl0gic I did not see your comment until after i posted mine. I said the exact same thing. We are fed bullshit by the radio stations and told to like it. Why oh why..

[sexpistolarchive]

Dream of a song!

[karlinlondon]

goosebumps ... can't sit still while that cornet solo plays

[giuseppeUT]

[SaintAnthonyOne]

Bwoy ah jus dey ya a shake a leg....this was the first Ska song that I knew all the words to as a youngster, and the Prince was one of my earliest musical heroes.

[danielegarritano]

... O H M Y G O D!!!! ... THAT WAS DANCEHALL!! prince buster, alton ellis or desmond dekker... guys you have to know all the tunes if you're selecting reggae music!!!

STAY RUDE! STAY REBEL!

[antwanswan1]

[dorisskitten]

Beautiful trumpet solo

[robskers]

SKA... the roots of Reggae.

[SlushPile]

Not sure what this song is about but it's great!

[gahja]

[tonyhism]

[ichlebefuerflipflops]

the prince should be the king

[allthereds]

[gangstable]

@ichlebefuerflipflops

KING BUSTER

has a nice ring to it deffo

[yukiko1982]

Great music!

[kinklesstetrode]

This has to be the best tune that came from Mr. Bustemante. Apart from Ghost Dance and all the others. Thanks for publishing this magic tune. The trumpet solo, Johnny More or Raymond harper (more I think,) is lovely. I really hope th youngsters of today understand what Jamaican music of the 50s and 60s has done for pop music of today. I am so proud of my Blaupunkt radiogram

[traintogirlstown]

freeeeeeeeeeeeesh tune

[Freshcutspirit]

So much great music to enjoy.

[TheRickynow]

I must have heard this thousands of times, but it still makes me laugh every time. Outstanding one from The Prince

[tuktukskagal]

"You pick him up and lick him down. Him bounce right back!"
