A propos de Delroy Wilson
Delroy Wilson was a ska, rocksteady, reggae artist (b. October 5, 1948) from Trenchtown in Kingston, Jamaica. In the 1960s he was part of the duo Higgs and Wilson together with Joe Higgs and also sang duo with Paulette Williams as Delroy & Paulette.
He released his first solo single "If I Had a Beautiful Baby" in 1962 for record producer, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd, at the age of thirteen. His follow-up single "Joe Liges" was written by Lee "Scratch" Perry, then working as a talent spotter/songwriter/singer for Dodd, and was a lyrical attack on former Coxsone employee and now rival, Prince Buster. The record was so popular that his follow-up, "Spit In The Sky", another Perry penned barb aimed at the Prince, was actually credited to Joe Liges when it was released in th UK on the Bluebeat and Black Swan labels.
Delroy's transition to rocksteady in the late 1960s produced many hits including "Conquer Me" and "Riding For A Fall". His classic song "Dancing Mood" remains one of the most popular Jamaican songs from that time. In 1972, Jamaican Prime Minister Michael Manley and his People's National Party chose Wilson's "Better Must Come" as their election campaign song to increase their vote amongst the 'sufferers' in Jamaica. Also a Bob Andy produced song, "The Last Thing On My Mind" rose to number one in Jamaica. Delroy was mainly produced by Bunny lee throughout the 1970s and continued recording into the early 90s under various producers spanning a career of 30+ years.
Delroy Wilson died on 6 March 1995 at Kingston's UWI hospital from complications following a liver ailment.
