Prince & Princess Buster – Ten Commandments From Woman To Man (Song Meaning & Review)
notes:
Few tracks capture the wit and cultural edge of early Jamaican
ska like “Ten Commandments From Woman To Man” by Prince Buster
and Princess Buster. Released during the explosive rise of 1960s ska music,
this classic stands out for its clever call-and-response style and bold take
on relationships. Paired with “Ain’t That Saying A Lot,” the record blends
infectious rhythms with sharp social commentary, making it a must-listen
for fans of vintage Jamaican music. In this post, we break down the song’s
meaning, lyrical themes, and why it still resonates with listeners today.
