Desmond Dekker, best known for the late 1960's hit "The Israelites" and an early pioneer for the reggae music scene, has died this past week in London. He was 69.

RIP DESMOND. SKA 4EVER!!!!
 
Wake up in the morning, near to Yarrawonga,
Look out t'ward the east towards Albureeeeeeeeeee
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Katamatite!

Love that song, but it was all I knew about Desmong Dekker, apart from his name. RIP.
 
Thanks for the info. There is an argument that could be run that commercial reggae music went downhill from 'The Israelites'. A splendid song. So affecting. So intelligent.
