Alphonsus Celestine Edmund Cassell MBE (November 16, 1954 - September 15, 2010) was a calypso and soca musician who performed under the stage name Arrow, and is regarded as the first superstar of soca. In 1982, Arrow began working with arranger Leston Paul, and, with his Multi National Force band, recorded the album Hot Hot Hot, the title track, "Hot Hot Hot", becoming his first pan-Caribbean hit and the biggest selling soca hit of all time. It was adopted as the theme song of the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, and was later covered by David Johansen (in his Buster Poindexter alter ego), Menudo, and Babla & Kanchan.
