Desmond Dekker and The Specials - King of Kings LP
SKU: MOVLP2722
Description:
Desmond Dekker is a Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae
singer-songwriter and musician. He was originally a welder by
profession, and it was his colleagues that encouraged him to pursue
a career in music when they heard him singing in the workplace. He
eventually signed a record deal with Beverley's, and grew into one
of Jamaica's biggest stars. He is also credited with launching the
career of fellow former welder Bob Marley.
In the 1993, he released the collaborative album King of Kings with
English ska band The Specials through the famous reggae label
Trojan Records. Released under the name Desmond Dekker and The
