Let's pay some tribute to one of the first international reggae singers, Desmond Dekker. He crossed the pond and topped the UK charts with "Israelites" in 1968. His influence is not only seen on other reggae artists, but a wide range of music from punk to pop. Often his lyrics get lost in the somewhat catchy nature of the music, but he was definitely addressing some important social issues.
