Originally it was rather tame by modern standards. However, I'd say that Madness might give the Selecter a run for the money. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] furby@infosec.pub 1 point 2 weeks ago (1 child) Mind Blown! I never made the connection from Millie Small to Ska. I guess Prince Buster would have been a contemporary though. Thanks for sharing and starting my day on a ska kick! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world [S] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 1 week ago) I'm not really familiar with early reggae, ska, dancehall and whatnot, but from what I've read 'My Boy Lollipop' was the song that introduced white man to ska. Regarding Prince Buster, a fun fact is that Madness' ‘One Step Beyond’ is a cover of his song. permalink fedilink source parent
