We conclude our first ever BetaMomCelebrityWeek with a goodbye to reggae great and ska pioneer, Desmond Dekker. He died of a heart attack in his home in Britain at the age of 64.
Why does BetaMom celebrate the music of Desmond Dekker? Take a listen to his first hit - Honour Your Mother and Father. Enjoy some of the lyrics:
"Honor your mother and your father
That your days may be long on the land
Children obey your parents and the law
This is the law of the prophets
Love your parents as how you love yourself
Do onto others as they would do to you"
Sounds corny, but to a reggae beat, it's pretty cool.
BetaKid and BetaMom cranked up the song and had a good dance to honour Mr. Dekker.
Rest in peace.
