Delroy Wilson ,

(5 October 1948 – 6 March 1995) was a Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae singer.
Wilson released his first single “Emy Lou” in 1961 for record producer, Clement “Coxsone” Dodd, at the age of thirteen. His early years with Coxsone yielded a number of ska hits, the biggest of which, the Lee Perry-written “Joe Liges” was an attack on rival producer and former Dodd employee Prince Buster. This was followed by another Perry-written attack on Buster, “Spit in the Sky”. Further singles followed, including “One Two Three”, “I Shall Not Remove”, “Look Who Is Back Again” (a duet with Slim Smith), and another anti-Buster song, “Prince Pharaoh”, notably the only record featuring the voice of Dodd himself. ….Read More
