Regarded as Jamaica's first international musical legend, Cecil Bustamente Campbell hailed from Kingston,, having been born on Orange Street – now known as the heart and soul of Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae.

Without him the group Madness would not have existed.

"Buster, he sold the heat with a rock-steady beat"

RIP big man.

As a Madness fan this is terrible news.

For those who may not realise, Madness were named after one of his songs, they would also cover said song, they also covered a little song of his called "One Step Beyond" and their debut "The Prince" was about him.

Other than that, they weren't fussed

RIP Sir.

Certainly a major influence to all music that followed. RIP
