Con el nacimiento del Ska, Don se unió a The Skatalites. Su nombre llegó a ser conocido en Jamaica, antes de comenzar con sus problemas mentales. El pianista George Shearing lo consideró como uno de los 5 mejores trombonistas del mundo.

El 1 de Enero de 1965 fue encarcelado por el asesinato de la bailarina exótica y cantante Anita "Margarita" Mahfood. Fue internado en el Asilo de Belle Vue en Kingston, donde permaneció hasta su muerte.
