How do you people feel about "Israelites" by Desmond Dekker and the Aces?
I'm a big fan of Jamaican ska and early reggae, so of course I have the utmost admiration for Desmond Dekker. I remember wanting to see him live in California many years ago but my father didn't really want to go, so I skipped it; turns out that became his last Cali show ever.
At least at the end of the day, I can still say that I've seen Derrick Morgan, Alton Ellis, Rico Rodriguez, Pat Kelly and a few more obscure names here and there live and in the flesh. My Skatalites concert count is also in the double-digits, though at this point Lester Sterling is the only original (and surviving) member left.
