Alphonso was one of Studio One Producer Coxson Dodd's earliest session musicians and chief arrangers; and is famous for his arrangements of the ska standards, "Phoenix City" and "El Pussy Cat". He was nominated for two "Grammy" awards,"knighted" by the Jamaican Government for his contribution to Jamaican music and given a "key" to the city of Boston in the early 1990s. Rolando Alphonso sadly passed away in 1998.
