Long before Bob Marley's rise to pre-eminence, the title of the world's leading reggae performer rested firmly with another young singer from Kingston, Jamaica: Desmond Dekker. Between 1967 and 1970, Desmond enjoyed a succession of international hit singles, breaking new ground with singles such as '007', the first Jamaican-produced single to break into the UK top twenty, and 'Israelites', the first reggae single to reach the Number One spot in Britain and to breach the US chart. Further triumphs followed thereafter, with major chart hits including 'It Mek', 'Pickney Gal', 'You Can Get It If You Really Want' and 'Sing A Little Song', all of which cemented his place in history as Jamaica's first global superstar. All these works, along with the best of his remaining recordings from the ska, rock steady and reggae eras are featured on this compilation, featuring extensive liner notes and imagery, the set pays due respect to the original King of Reggae and superbly demonstrates the immense talent that set Desmond Dekker apart from his peers during the Golden Age of Jamaican music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc One\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsraelites (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Mek (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFu Man Chu (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Where Did It Go) the Song We Used to Sing - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful and Dangerous (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing of Ska (With the Cherry Pies) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntensified '68 (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSabotage (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugar Dumpling (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Blame Me (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerserverance - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's a Shame (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJeserine (With the Cherry Pies) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBongo Gal (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePick Up the Phone - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMother's Young Gal (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Woman (With the Four Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShing a Ling (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Can Get It If You Really Want - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnity (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLive and Learn - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRudy Got Soul (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Up Adina (With the Four Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenerosity - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePretty Africa (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc Two\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e007 (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe First for a Long Time - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRude Boy Train (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonour Your Mother and Father - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt Pays (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProblem (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWise Man (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoconut Water (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoldering (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBusted Lad - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Music (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabour for Learning - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Place Like Home - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWriting On the Wall (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParents - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSing a Little Song - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMother Pepper (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount Zion (With the Four Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLicking Stick (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYoung Generation (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickney Gal (With the Aces) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJamaica Ska (With the Specials) - Desmond Dekker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Golden Discs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52943933997188,"sku":"4050538869309","price":6.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/5020\/5828\/files\/MUS000752367.jpg?v=1790655957","url":"https:\/\/camdenus.com\/products\/essential-artist-collection-desmond-dekker-cd","provider":"Camdenus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
