I've been living at a convent in Kingston where I work with sisters who have dementia. I've been playing a lot of Desmond Dekker for them when we do chair exercises. Big UP Desmond Dekker and the AMAZING music Jamrock has brought the world.

R.I.P. TO THE LEGEND!!! I cant go a day without having to listen to Israelites.

Rest in Riddim Des.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇯🇲🇬🇧🙏🏽❤️

I remember very vividly watching the Skatalites play live at The Jazz Cafe in Camden, London about 15 years ago, when about halfway through their set, in walked Desmond Dekker. He walked to the front of the venue, jumped up on stage and proceeded to bang out The Israelites. It was a magical moment.

Working Class! 🛠️

Me too - likkle white yout' from Derby, England now living in Newcastle, NSW, Australia.............'cept my love affair with the music began a little earlier - in '64 with Millie Small's "My Boy Lollipop" when I was 7 years old. "Israelites" is still probably the most amazing sound to hear for the very first time.............in early 1969 coming out of my ten-bob-tranny (transistor radio!!!! for the youngsters reading this) it sounded like it came from another planet. Happy 80th Birthday and RIP, the KING OF SKA..........you are still with us through your amazing musical legacy. RIP Millie Small, too...............you were responsible for the song that initiated my love of this crazy, beautiful music that is still my fave music genre. I've never looked back.

It is 14 degrees outside my 1925 un-insulated apartment with fumey space heater! 😳 But this great reggae mix is warming my soul!

Much love Desmond your so missed. I've danced to your music since I was 10 years old with my friends.

Always a pleasure to hear that iconic guy... ... i listen him since 35 years and his music run in my blood like many other "Ska" Heroes from this epoch (Prince Buster, Alton Ellis.. and so many others) Much respect and Peace !

Big ups

Respect to the ska legend Desmond Dekker really influenced me as a white working class person to love each other during a really bad period in UK history like the nf I was a anti nazi skinhead loving my ska and reggae which influenced me into being anti racist

the NF, and i remember those days well, hijacked the skinhead culture and perverted it and us decent skins got tarred with the same brush :(

got up on stage and starting sharing his mic... twice, he was totally unfazed... legend....

I'm 46 and love these tunes goosebumps all the way. ska 💯🔥

Shout out to the great Desmond, his music has soul, one of my all time favourite singer and person. Can honestly say that his music got me through toughest times in my life and for that ill be forever grateful to him. May he rest in peace but as long as we blast his hits he will never be forgotten.

Happy birthday to one of my biggest heroes. Love you. Big up. Mash it up. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 🇯🇲

Thanks for keeping his memory and our culture alive.

I was lucky enough to see this ledge in Hastings pier circa 1981 ,,, still music for my soul

If you play this to someone lying on the ground and they don't start moving their head or legs then you know that person is dead.

This is phenomenal, I remember as a child I first heard "The Israelites" and fell in love with the beat and the song and all of it. I can't remember exactly what year it was but I was less than 10 but more than 4.... I've been a listener of Reggae for years purely because it sounds so damn good! Thanks for this, I greatly appreciate it.

Love it! True legend 👑

Thanks - loving a Friday night spin
