half of the original ska revival were covers of his stuff

a true originator and innovator.

The BBC did a really good radio series on the history of Ska a few years ago containing some cracking anecdotes about his rise to fame and the battles of the sound systems in Jamaica.

Prince was his boxing nickname and he got into ska by working as security for Coxsone Dodd's sound system. hard as f**k probably doesn't cover it tbf
