Desmond Dekker - The Israelites (live)

This is a live video from Desmond Dekker, and this is a famous song from He, and He's band.
This is SKA music from the 60's, and 70's.
This record can be from 80's, I think.

You folks who think that Ska has to be for blacks or whites are ridiculous. Music is for everyone, bigots need not apply! Also, no one started "jumping" to ska until the 90s when crappy bands from the states began playing it, and it became some lame trend...Desmond Dekker is the real deal, and these people are having fun, so what if they "look funny". That is just how people danced in the 80s.

Couldn't agree more with you my friend. I still dance like this. And it doesn't matter how one look. All that matters, is that people enjoy themselves, and keep enjoying music.

Desmond Dekker is a true legend. And I wish that everyone could recognise that. Eventhough you're not a fan of ska/reggae, you should not disrespect people who love it.

Jah be with you! Jah be with Mr. Dekker!

That blonde tramp has to be the center of attention,a hog for the camera.

[Phil Jackson]

Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.

No, they just commit a typo, that's all

[alanbstard4]

oh fuck off dickhead with your " bigot " accusations. Why don't you people pull your pc heads in?

Ska has always been promoted as black, West Indian specifically

I can't stand D Dekker's music, and I appreciate Millie Small as a great talent, but as an individual, not because she's black. These opinion are enough to get someone labelled " racist " or " bigot "

You are right though saying having fun counts the most

[Bede Rovedas]

It is necessary to understand the lyrics, this song its of reality and greatnesss!!!!! SKANKING DELIRIOUS???

[Avner001]

That's Israel, not Isreal. Those who write Isreal are in denial of the reality

[abakertd69]

Isrealites, pray for Isreal

[Tom Greg]

He's having so much fun!
