Israelites, Pickney Gal, 007, It Mek...

So many wonderful tunes and that amazing voice. Anyone who was lucky enough to see Mr. Dekker perform live knows just how special this legend was.

Rest in Peace Desmond Dekker. A true king of Rock Steady, Reggae, Ska and Bluebeat. You will be missed but your music lives on forever.

Respect, Danny

What Bummer News man!
One too many Red-Stripes & Shock come to mind.

You gotta Love the song everone thought Desmond was singing "Israelites":-
He actually says:-

Wake up in the morning,
Baked Beans for Breakfast
so everymouth may feed,
oooh, oooh, Me Ears are Alight!

"The Israelites" by Desmond Decker and The Aces

"Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
so that every mouth can be fed.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
So that every mouth can be fed.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

My wife and my kids, they are packed up and leave me.
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

Shirt them a-tear up, trousers are gone.
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

After a storm there must be a calm.
They catch me in the farm. You sound the alarm.
Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.

Poor me, the Israelite.
I wonder who I'm working for.
Poor me, Israelite,
I look a-down and out, sir."

peace out dLeaf
