    Yea I was listening to a reggae show last night and they had played The Isrealites which was a surpise because thats a big song and they never really play anything big, anyways the DJ said it was from the late desmond dekker and i couldnt believe it.

    Last april my brother played a show with him, good shit.

    I couldn't believe it when I heard the news. Not least because my dad had seen him the week before. :(
