In December 2001 Prince Buster, now known by his Muslim name, Muhammad Yusef Ali, was presented with the Order of Distinction (OD), for his contribution to the development of the Jamaican music industry. The presentation was made at the Jamaica Consulate in Miami. In accepting the honor, Prince Buster called for the revitalization of the Orange Street area in Kingston, which he described as the "cornerstone of some of the island's famous musicians and entertainers". The area, he said, was significant to the birth and development of Jamaica's popular music.
