  • Don Drummond was a famous ska trombonist and composer. He was one of the original members of The Skatalites, and composed many of their tunes. Drummond was born at the Jubilee Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica to Doris Monroe and Uriah Drummond. His musical career began in the mid-1950s with the Eric Deans All-Stars. He continued into the 1960s with others, including Kenny Williams. With the birth of ska Don joined The Skatalites. He became a household name in Jamaica, before suffering mental problems. He was rated by pianist George Shearing to be amongst the world's top five trombone players. In 1965 he was convicted of the murder of his long-term girlfriend, Anita "Marguerita" Mahfood, an exotic Rhumba dancer and singer, on January 1 1965. He was imprisoned at Belle Vue Asylum, Kingston where he remained until his death four years later. The official cause of death was "natural causes", possibly heart failure caused by malnutrition or improper medication, but other theories were put forward; some of his colleagues believed it was a government plot against the Kingston musical scene, and some believed that he was killed by gangsters as revenge for the murder of Mahfood.
  • Don Drummond war ein jamaikanischer Ska-Musiker und Mitglied der Urbesetzung der Skatalites. Drummond wurde in Kingston geboren und besuchte dort später die legendäre Alpha Boys School. Er spielte die Posaune wie kaum jemand vor und auch nach seiner Zeit, war jedoch latent geistesgestört. Die unter anderem von den Skatalites gespielten Stücke und großen Erfolge Occupation und Eastern Standard Time stammten aus seiner Feder. Der Klassiker Don de Lion gab ihm seinen Spitznamen. Don Drummonds steile Karriere endete am Neujahrstag 1965. Er hatte seine Geliebte, die Tänzerin Anita „Marguerita“ Mahfood, erstochen. Er wurde vom Gericht umgehend in die Bellevue-Anstalt eingewiesen, wo er bis zu seinem Tod blieb. Am 6. Mai 1969 beging Don Drummond vermutlich Selbstmord. Auch hier gibt es einige Gerüchte über eine Verschwörung, die bis hin zu Mord reichen. Drummonds Verlust sorgte für die Auflösung der Skatalites im August 1965 und möglicherweise auch für das Ende der glorreichen Ska-Phase in Jamaika.
