Delroy Wilson - Rain From The Sky

Delroy Wilson was born in Trenchtown, Jamaica on October 5 1948.

He released his first solo single "If I Had a Beautiful Baby" in 1962 for record producer, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, at the age of thirteen.

His classic song "Dancing Mood" remains one of the most popular Jamaican songs from the late 60s.

In 1972, Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley and his People's National Party chose Wilson's "Better Must Come" as their election campaign song to increase their vote amongst the 'sufferers' in Jamaica.

In 1994, Wilson was recognised by a special plaque awarded him by the Jamaican government for his enduring legacy to Jamaican music.

Delroy Wilson died on 6 March 1995 at Kingston's UWI hospital from complications following a liver ailment associated with alcohol abuse.

His music lives on!
