Members paul44 Posted January 6, 2007 Members Share Posted January 6, 2007 Everyone should have a copy of The Story of Jamaican Music : Tougher Than Tough (Island Records,4 CD Box Set).I mean it,there should be a law requiring every household to have it and play it at least once a week.

Members xStonr Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 "The Israelites" - Desmond Dekker: One of the catchiest tunes ever. First Reggae song ever played on American radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eric zwicky Posted January 7, 2007 Members Share Posted January 7, 2007 Originally posted by xStonr First Reggae song ever played on American radio. man, i remember when it came out. i was hooked. didn't know it was called reggae or ska, just thought it was a damn catchy song. AM radio back in the day used to be something else.... desmond dekker, followed by tony joe white, followed by ted nugent and the amboy dukes, followed by deep purple, followed by jeannie c riley, etc etc. that type of radio programming sure has gone the way of the dodo bird.

Yep. I think I was five, and I really dug it. Of course, I never heard it again for fifteen years, and then one day, it shows up, and I'm like "THAT'S IT!"

Isrealites was a big commercial hit, even on american radio. Dekker was the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
