Desmond Dekker Biography
Dubbed "the King of Ska," Artist is one of the key artists in the history of Jamaican music. An instrumental figure in the development of ska and its slightly mellower cousin, rocksteady, Dekker was also one the first reggae performers to break big in the U.K., laying the groundwork for that country's late 1970s 2 Tone movement. While his full body of work is impressive and of consistently high quality, he will perhaps be best remembered for his 1968 international hit, "The Israelites," arguably one of the most uplifting songs in the history of pop music. Sadly, Artist died in 2006 at the age of 64.
