Prince Buster: Dance Cleopatra Dance
Prince Buster: Dance Cleopatra DancePrince Buster: Dance Cleopatra Dance is a collection of recordings by Prince Buster from 1964 – 1972. Cecil Bustamente Campbell (24 May 1938 – 8 September 2016) was known professionally as Prince Buster. He was a Jamaican singer-songwriter and producer. The records he released in the 1960s influenced and shaped the course of Jamaican contemporary music and created a legacy of work that would be drawn upon later by multiple reggae and ska artists.
Prince Buster recorded prolifically throughout the 1960s; notable early ska releases include: “Madness” (1963), “Wash Wash” (1963), “One Step Beyond” (1964) and “Al Capone” (1964). In 1964, Campbell met boxer Muhammad Ali, who invited him to attend a Nation of Islam talk at Mosque 29 in Miami. That year Campbell joined the Nation of Islam and also started to release material, including a version of Louis X’s “White Man’s Heaven is a Black Man’s Hell,” on his own imprint label called “Islam”.
Prince Buster had a top twenty hit in the UK with the single “Al Capone” (no. 18, February 1967). He toured the UK in spring 1967 appearing at the Marquee Club in May and later toured America to promote the LP release The Ten Commandments (From Man To Woman). “Ten Commandments” reached no. 81 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his only hit single in the United States.
By the late 1960s Campbell was once again at the forefront of a musical change in Jamaica; the new music would be called rocksteady . Campbell tracks like “Shaking Up Orange Street” (1967) were arranged with the slower, more soulful rocksteady template. The album Judge Dread Rock Steady was released in 1967, and the title track “Judge Dread” with its satirical theme and vocal style proved to be popular. In 1968, the compilation album FABulous was released, opening with the track “Earthquake” (which revisited the theme of Orange Street) and including earlier hits.
