That's really sad. He was great. Dekker was my introduction to Reggae.

Who remembers the TDK Tape adverts with the Rastaman and the words to "The Israelites" wrongly written on pieces of card? A work of art.

Aye, I remember. I didn't get it at the time, I'd always thought those were the lyrics (I were only ickle). One of the very few reggae songs I liked.
