Available in: gb icon flag icon
Desmond Dekker (16 July 1941 – 25 May 2006) was a Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae singer-songwriter and musician. Together with his backing group, The Aces (consisting of Wilson James and Easton Barrington Howard), he had one of the earliest international reggae hits with "Israelites" (1968). Other hits include "007 (Shanty Town)" (1967), "It Mek" (1969) and "You Can Get It If You Really Want" (1970).

The Aces
The current line-up for Dekker's backing band, who are still performing tribute concerts, includes:
Delroy Williams - backing vocals/M.C.
Gordon Mulrain - bass guitarist and session musician (Mulrain, also known as 'Innerheart', is co-founder of the British record label Ambiel Music)
Aubrey Mulrain - keyboard player and session musician
Steve Roberts - guitarist and session musician (also a member of the British band Dubzone)
Leroy Green - drums and session musician
Stan Samuel - guitarist and session musician
Charles Nelson - keyboard player and session musician
This particular line-up also recorded with Dekker on some of his later studio sessions in the 1990s.
