Friday Jukebox

I don't know about you,but when I think Reggae music I think Bob Marley!
..It's only natural.
So,I was a little surprised to discover that the first Reggae artist to break into the top ten in the United States,and the first to hit #1 in the UK, was a cat named Desmond Dekker.

I liked this song when it first came out in 1968,even though I had no clue what the hell the guy was talkn' about.
I still haven't a clue,..something to do with bustin' yer ass just to put food on the table I suspect,..but I like Desmond's updated version even better!
