Let me put it This way for you.. No Desmond Dekker no reggae no dancehall!!!... How sad I haven't heard many artists pay homage to this man.. What a shame
The intro oozes with tension while Dessy slowly enunciates every syllable and by the time the tempo lets loose the entire room is primed... what a feeling, what a mood they create!
"Gets up in the morning slaving for bread. So that every mouth can be fed . . ." Yep! Heard that quite a few mornings at LZ Sally back in 1968 while we stood in line waiting for our C-rations for breakfast. So that every mouth could be fed. What an apt song with apt timing.
I was born in the 70s I listen to the lyrics of this song it is happening right now in 2021 you wake up in the morning searching for food so every mouth can be fed wow that's deep
The kinetics of the baseline when hit at the right cadence makes this song groove like no other. A masterpiece. Not such a great backup here, but when the Aces honed it into the right groove, the baseline becomes divine. This song and Sugar sugar are so elementally perfect they will never age.
Every time I hear this performed like different videos and such it’s like hearing it for the first time every time. It’s great. He is a great showman and singer.
Sheer Genius. .. came here from the Maxelll Cassette Tape advert/commercial lol...it's been years since I've heard the true greatness of Desmond D but it NEVER gets old. True brilliance never dims. Thanks and Cheers from an ex pat Brit in Canada 🇨🇦
Was that advert the one where it's mistaken for "me ears are alight?" I think I remember it. All I can picture is the skeleton from the Scotch tape ad, for some reason. (Re-record, not fade away!)😄
Desmond was a diamond, a rough-cut one with a soul of gold! Reminds me of the Fair daaan Harrow On The Hill way, and the atmosphere of the greatest Reggae artist of the day. Love it 👍
Jeff - I’m a 53 year old white guy from Scotland, I’ve loved this music all my days and this is the best 3 minutes of music on the internet, ever. Your brother took something brilliant and made it unforgettable, I will never tire of watching this. RIP Desmond and Wilf.
In the 1960s and 1970s the BBC disliked Reggae. BBC Radio 1 had a policy of not playing reggae even the few tunes that made it into the top of the record charts
Something else you might like: Amy Winehouse's amazingly talented backup singers (the taller one is an especially elegant dancer). You can get a sense of him at 1:57 -- the link below is for a concert that runs more than an hour. th-cam.com/video/QwAVN3rO_NQ/w-d-xo.html
They just don't make em like this anymore, Kids I am so sorry for what your going through! Listen to this stuff... It will help your mind and soul! Good luck! Bless you all!
I used to go to the "broken drum" bar in grand forks North Dakota. No matter what song was selected on the old juke box it would only play this sing. And often by itself. Hmmmmmmm🐹
This song is the ultimate definitive reggae beat ! Much better than anything Bob Marley ever did. Don’t get me wrong, I live Bob Marley, but Desmond had the rhythm. Just listen to that back beat! Play this in a graveyard and the dead will arise !
It seems that so many live versions of songs are a tad too fast. Not this one by Desmond. It's perfect. Dare I say, it's got a groove the great hit single does not have. I love it.
Cheers for uploading. What a great version. I love his little wry smile before "The Isaraelites" just rolls from his lips for the first time. And I prefer the choppy delivery of his vocals to the studio release.
Get up in the morning sleeping for bread sir Sold out to every monk and beef-head Oh-oh, me ears are alight Why find my kids? They buck up and-a leave me Darling cheese-head, I was yards too greasy Oh-oh, me ears are alight
there a full version of this tv gig around youtube? Strange version.... BUT i loved it.. I love those impromtu moments that are as new for the musicians as for the audience. (At least that's how it felt?)

I love this Live Version so much! It just hits different. The music, the energy... especially the background dancers! Just pure enjoyment throughout.
He ist a King of Reggae ❤☮️♾️🤝
The guy dancing in the background with the blue trousers was really REALLY feeling this song.
lovin every minute
Dude had energy.
Hype man
Yeah he is!
Yeah man how could you not be? I would have loved to be there.
Let me put it This way for you.. No Desmond Dekker no reggae no dancehall!!!... How sad I haven't heard many artists pay homage to this man.. What a shame
You are absolutely correct man.
You got that right 😊.
Before there was Bob Marley, there was Desmond dekker!!
That bassline climb always lifts my heart ♥️
The "Rock Around The Clock" of Reggae! It's that significant!

Brilliant intro, me ears are alight.
"Gets up in the morning slaving for bread. So that every mouth can be fed . . ." Yep! Heard that quite a few mornings at LZ Sally back in 1968 while we stood in line waiting for our C-rations for breakfast. So that every mouth could be fed. What an apt song with apt timing.
I always thought the lyrics were "Get up in the morning same thing for breakfast".
I was born in the 70s I listen to the lyrics of this song it is happening right now in 2021 you wake up in the morning searching for food so every mouth can be fed wow that's deep
One of the greatest songs of any musical genres. Simply brilliant!
WHAT A GREAT MESSAGE AND YOU WOULDN'T EXPECT ANYTHING LESS FROM REGGAE.
Notice how the young generation back then were all slim .
Maybe they didn't let them into the studio, just like today? Same thing with school classes we came across in the last 3 weeks of our trip.
Yes we were and had our natural hair.
The kinetics of the baseline when hit at the right cadence makes this song groove like no other. A masterpiece. Not such a great backup here, but when the Aces honed it into the right groove, the baseline becomes divine. This song and Sugar sugar are so elementally perfect they will never age.
Yes
Wonderful song and singer
How priceless is this recording! I smile every time I hear this song. Poor me!
Such a great song....I just can’t get enough of that Bassline! 👌🏽

Every time I hear this performed like different videos and such it’s like hearing it for the first time every time. It’s great. He is a great showman and singer.
Remember dancing to this in the 60s. Loved this song. Desmond is the king of reggae bar none.
You just want this to go on and on. It is just so good.
OMG!! God made that back up dancer funky. Some serious mojo. Got to get myself some!!

and sisters
Bullshit.
The lyrics is what is so great. Listen to the words. This song is about us. We are the Israelites.
Yes we are The Israelites
Another legend, gone far too soon. Looks like my late brother (WILF SLACK) dancing in white shirt, blue tie, in the background, May they both R.I.E.P.
Excellent dancer!!

memories, brilliant memories. oh to be young again
A great song and artist. Thanks, cousins.
HBO's Watchmen brought me here. Thank you uploader and RIP Desmond

1964, Millie Small. (My boy lollipop) Was the 1st Jamaican artist to have a hit in the UK.
They just don't make em like this anymore, Kids I am so sorry for what your going through! Listen to this stuff... It will help your mind and soul! Good luck! Bless you all!
I loved this song, think I was about 6 years old at the time😁
Same here! I remember hearing it on the radio when I was a kid.
I used to go to the "broken drum" bar in grand forks North Dakota. No matter what song was selected on the old juke box it would only play this sing. And often by itself. Hmmmmmmm🐹
Love this song . .great to dance to!
Desmond dekker
Might of been lord god almighty
As far as I am concerned
Saw him at every scooter rally
And more Legend
This song is the ultimate definitive reggae beat ! Much better than anything Bob Marley ever did.
Don’t get me wrong, I live Bob Marley, but Desmond had the rhythm.
Just listen to that back beat! Play this in a graveyard and the dead will arise !
Two completely different styles that’s all
Listening in 2022
Eddie amoo and Dave Smith from the real thing are there, harmonising
Ooooooo ooooooh me ears are alight!
Love this so much !
That’s a great vibe
I had this on a 45rpm single when I was 10-12 yo. I thought they were singing, " Get up every morning have bacon for breakfast..." LOL!
So did I!
A song like no other.
It seems that so many live versions of songs are a tad too fast. Not this one by Desmond. It's perfect. Dare I say, it's got a groove the great hit single does not have. I love it.
Great performance. Thry feeling that shit
1 reggae i Heard in the60s comunist country
Love it fool 😂
Wow!!!. Very cool.
Oh our ska godfather !! Jah a Israelites!!!!
This came out when I was in high school 50 years ago and I like ir

I was lucky enough to see him live & he was awesome
Cheers for uploading. What a great version. I love his little wry smile before "The Isaraelites" just rolls from his lips for the first time.
And I prefer the choppy delivery of his vocals to the studio release.
Great moves from Desmond ❤
The real Israelites ❤❤❤
After the horrors of October 7th they need our support!!!!!!!!!!!
WATCHMEN EPISODE 3

He re-recorded this in a faster harder version in the early eighties with some 2-Tone musicians. Butt kicker!
