{"title":"Desmond Dekker \u0026 the Aces","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesmond Dekker \u0026amp; the Aces were a Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae group active from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s. Led by singer-songwriter Desmond Dekker, the band was instrumental in popularizing the reggae genre outside Jamaica, particularly with their international hit \"Israelites\". Their music was characterized by Dekker's falsetto vocals, catchy melodies, and socially conscious lyrics which often reflected the struggles and experiences of the urban poor in Jamaica. Their significant contribution to the global spread of reggae music makes them a pivotal figure in music history.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"israelites-1","title":"Israelites \/ Jingle Jangle","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on Uni 55129.

By the way, the writer credited as \"Dacris\" is Desmond Dekker. I believe the B side is a non-album cut. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Uni Records factory sleeve.
