Desmond Dekker singing ‘Israelites’
I’ve posted Apache Indian’s version of ‘Israelites’ before. Here’s a video of the original, Desmond Dekker singing it in ‘69 (via Boing Boing).
Here’s Apache’s version:

Nice clips. I liked the original but liked the collaboration too. Did DD actually re-record it for the song I wonder.
Today, DDekker would probably be sued for using the name “black and dekker” for his album name.
I love this song! It brought to my attention in the 80’s in a battery commercial (i think it was for batteries). A guy was holding these cards with the lyrics. Only his said: my ears are alight… which i thought was verry funny.
