Desmond Dekker died on this day in 2006. Jamaican ska and reggae artist, he and his group, The Aces, had the first ever ska song to hit No 1 in the UK, and to make it into the top ten in the USA.

Note to CH: I have nothing by him--he was too angry, too political. I liked some of his tunes but only done by others.

i have a couple of albums by Gil....
i only picked up on him after Paul weller covered one of his songs on a covers album a decade or so ago...
i wouldnt buy anymore of his material, even though i like what ive got, ive got to be in the mood to appreciate it(not something i could just put on at any time)
BTW,
here's the Paul Weller 'funked-up' cover of "the bottle"
