Desmond Dekker is another one of the first artists to have a hit reggae song in America. The song was very different from anything else on the radio during that time and became an instant hit for Dekker. "Israelites" ranks up there with only a handful of songs that helped bring reggae music to America and added yet another sound to the vast American soundscape.
