Throwback Thursdays: Desmond Dekker

Desmond Dekker might be my favorite artist from the rock steady/early ska days. Dig this cut from 1968 (hopefully you already know it).

Feel Good Fridays: Desmond Dekker

From 1968 (charting in 1969), this is one of my favorite old school ska tunes from Desmond Dekker. Hope it gets your head bobbin' this morning. Dig.

Feel Good Fridays: Desmond Dekker

DateFriday, December 2, 2011 at 8:52AM

I've always loved this song.  I have a more laid back, rock steady version of this at home but I could only find the super-skanked-up-rude-boy version online.  The song itself seems like simple admiration but the video turns it into a hilariously creepy up-skirt fetish track.  Either way, Desmond grooves.  Dig.
