Desmond Dekker

The Best of Desmond Dekker


Between 1967 and 1975, Desmond Dekker, Jamaica's first recording superstar, graced the UK pop charts on no less than 7 occasions. His international success in 1969 led to a reggae explosion that took the genre into the mainstream and opened the way for the likes of Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, and Toots & The Maytals to follow. Consequently, despite his tragic death a decade ago this year, he remains one of a handful of reggae artists who are readily identified with the genre. This collection beings together 40 ska and reggae classics, most notably the singer's 6 major UK charts hits, 'Israelites', '007', 'It Mek', 'Pickney Gal', 'You Can Get It If You Really Want' and 'Sing A Little Song'.
