Desmond Dekker born in Kingston, Jamaica on 16 July 1941 - deceased 25 May 2006, was a Jamaican ska and reggae singer and songwriter. Together with his backing group, The Aces consisting of Wilson James and Easton Barrington Howard, he had the first international Jamaican hit, Israelites. Other hits include 007 Shanty Town 1967 and It Mek 1968. Before the ascent of Bob Marley, Dekker was the best-known Jamaican musician outside of his country, and one of the most popular within it. Israelites is a song written by Desmond Dekker and Leslie Kong that became a hit for Dekker's group, Desmond Dekker & The Aces, reaching the top of the charts in numerous countries in 1969. Although few could understand all the lyrics, the single was the first UK reggae number one and among the first to reach the US top ten peaking at number 9. It combined the Rastafarian religion with rude boy concerns, to make what has been described as a timeless masterpiece that knew no boundaries. Desmond Dekker , The Aces.
