Derrick Morgan - House Wife Choice '2000/2023

Tracks list

A member of the classic first wave of Jamaican ska artists, Derrick Morgan was
among the genre's founding fathers, emerging alongside pioneers including the
Skatalites, Laurel Aitken, Prince Buster, and Desmond Dekker. Born in March,
1940, Morgan was raised in the Kingston area, exposed to a variety of musical
sources spanning from New Orleans R&B to the choral music of the nearby church
where his father served as deacon. At the age of 17, he took top honors at the
annual Vere John's Opportunity talent show, delivering blistering renditions of
Little Richard's "Long Tall Sally" and "Jenny Jenny," and in 1959 teamed with
producer Duke Reid to record his debut single "Lover Boy." Morgan's follow-up,
"Fat Man," was a smash throughout Jamaica, and he later scored with recordings
of "Leave Earth" and "Wigger Wee Shuffle," both cut with the legendary Clement
"Coxsone" Dodd.
