Delroy George Wilson (5
October 1948 – 6 March 1995) was a Jamaican ska, rocksteady and
reggae singer. Wilson is often regarded as Jamaica's first child
star, having first found success as a teenager. His youngest son,
Karl "Konan" Wilson, has found success as part of British duo Krept
and Konan. His voice matured as he left his teens, around the time
of ska's transition to rocksteady and this period in the late 1960s
produced many hits including one of the first rocksteady records,
"Dancing Mood", "Jerk in Time" (with the Wailers), "Feel Good All
Over", "I'm Not a King", "True Believer in Love", "Rain From the
Skies", "Conquer Me" and "Riding for a Fall". "Won't You Come
Home", a duet with Ken Boothe on a rhythm originally cut by The
Conquerors for Sonia Pottinger has become one of the most-versioned
Jamaican tracks ever.
After leaving Studio One he recorded for other labels, with varying
degrees of success, and set up his own short-lived W&C label.
He enjoyed success with Bunny Lee in the late 1960s and early 1970s
with tracks such as "This Old Heart of Mine", "Footsteps of Another
Man", and "Better Must Come". His double A-side "It Hurts"/"Put
Yourself in My Place" was a skinhead favourite and narrowly missed
UK chart success. He recorded a version of "Run Run", a song he had
originally recorded for Dodd, for maverick producer Keith Hudson.
Wilson toured the UK and recorded for Trojan Records in
1970.
