|
Reggae legend DESMOND DEKKER has died in his Surrey, England, home. He was 64. The Jamaican singer collapsed after suffering a heart attack on Wednesday (24MAY06).
Desmond Dekker (July 16, 1941 – May 25, 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 with "Israelites". Other hits include "007 (Shanty Town)" (1967) and "It Mek" (1968). Before the ascent of Bob Marley, Desmond Dekker was the best-known Jamaican musician outside of his country, and one of the most popular within it.
He will be sadly missed in the music industry.. |
