‘Queen of ska’ Pauline Black and Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson: the founding fathers of the 2-tone scene are back.
It is virtually impossible to think of the ska and 2-Tone revival of the late 1970s without Selecter on the front lines. Led by iconic frontwoman Pauline Black, often referred to as “The Queen of Ska,” and original member Arthur “Gaps” Hendrickson, the band was among the true founders of the 2-Tone explosion.
The Selecter tackled sexism, racism and other -isms in their music like no other. Not only did we help them reshape British pop, but also the cultural zeitgeist.
