Desmond Dekker was the first Jamaican reggae artist to break through in the
United States, when his powerful and anthemic tune Israelites rose to number
nine on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart in 1969. While Israelites was the first
time most Americans had ever heard of Desmond Dekker, he was already a major
star at home, cutting well-mannered ska singles (such as Honour Your Mother and
Father) since 1963 before moving on to more full-bodied rocksteady and reggae
sounds with pointed and thoughtful lyrics as the decade wore on, scoring hits
like 007 (Shanty Town) (featured prominently on the soundtrack of the film The
Harder They Come), Rude Boy Train, It Gotta Be So, and The Song We Used to Sing
(Where Did It Go). 007: The Best of Desmond Dekker is a two-disc collection that
features 25 classic hits from Dekkers catalog, as well as another 25 rare and
unreleased sides including alternate takes of some of the artists fan favorites
of the 60s and 70s.
