Old School Reggae Selection:
Here's some relatively old school reggae but it's a classic and I can't stop listening to this song lately. Taken straight off wikipedia (sorry I'm being lazy): "'Israelites' is a song written by Desmond Dekker and Leslie Kong that became a hit for Dekker's group, Desmond Dekker & The Aces. Although few could understand all the lyrics, the single was the first UK reggae number one and the first to reach the US top ten. It combined the Rastafarian religion with rudeboy concerns, lyrically comparing the travails of the Israelites with the overwhelming toil of modern-day poverty, to make what has been described as a "timeless masterpiece that knew no boundaries".
