Couldn't believe it when Desmond died- I was flying to Trinidad and the airline mag had an article on him- the legend was a one-hit wonder in Jamaica! Thankyou UK, thankyou USA and thankyou Bosstones for keeping the flag flying, Desmond's been with me through good times and bad in Cyprus.
for about 2 weeks, i thought this was an official music video, you did a great job dude. if i had and infinite amount of thumbs, you would be receiving an infinite amount of thumbs up's but i can only give you 2 :(
i feel ya on that 1GRome, half these fucks at "ska" shows, dont even know who Desmond Dekker is, hell, they think Reel big vagina was the 1st ska band ever. Morons.
This song is incredible, the bosstones still got it man. For those who don't know it was written and recorded for 2007's Medium Rare (mostly b-sides/unreleased stuff with 4 or 5 new tracks). Get it! Love it!

Thanks for coming back, guys. Your music has never let me down.
My Dekker albums are still sitting in a chest in my living room. They've never let me down either.
