The King of Ska

Some of Desmond Dekker's most well-known songs are featured on the compilation album The King of Ska, which highlights his enormous impact on ska and reggae music.

Dekker's musical range and ability to combine lively rhythms with moving social critique are perfectly captured in these songs. In addition to being commercially successful, songs like "Israelites" and "007 (Shanty Town)" were crucial in introducing Jamaican music to a global audience.
