Dandy Livingstone - "Rudy, A Message To You"

Dandy Livingstone may not be as widely known as popular reggae icons like Jimmy Cliff and the Wailers, but he wrote plenty of the genre's quintessential tracks including the simple and enduring "Suzanne Beware of the Devil." He also helped propel the popularity of ska music with his song "Rudy, A Message To You," which reached near the top of the UK charts thanks to an updated version by The Specials. Here's Dandy's original with its undeniably catchy trumpet motif.
