"The way we brought ska to the mainstream was by mixing Jamaican music with the English style, which at the time was punk. The movement helped transcend and defuse racial tensions in Thatcher-era Britain."
#HappyBirthday to the 'original rude boy' #2tone legend Neville Eugenton Staple #NevilleStaple

👉 My theme song for a couple of decades in my younger wolfin’ days.

Happy Birthday. Today April 11, 1955 – #NevilleStaple, Jamaican-English singer-songwriter ( #TheSpecials, #FunBoyThree, and #SpecialBeat ) was born.

11th April

Born on this day in 1955 Neville Staples of The Specials & The Fun Boy Three as well
as The Neville Staple Band. I was lucky enough to meet him at a book signing around 2009 I think. He was a lovely fella.
