Derrick Morgan Want More

A member of the classic first wave of Jamaican ska artists, Derrick Morgan was among the genre’s founding fathers, emerging alongside pioneers including the Skatalites, Laurel Aitken, Prince Buster, and Desmond Dekker. Born in March, 1940, Morgan was raised in the Kingston area, exposed to a variety of musical sources spanning from New Orleans R&B to the choral music of the nearby church where his father served as deacon. At the age of 17, he took top honours at the annual Vere John’s Opportunity talent show, delivering blistering renditions of Little Richard’s “Long Tall Sally” and “Jenny Jenny,” and in 1959 teamed with producer Duke Reid to record his debut single “Lover Boy.” Morgan’s follow-up, “Fat Man,” was a smash throughout Jamaica, and he later scored with recordings of “Leave Earth” and “Wigger Wee Shuffle,” both cut with the legendary Clement “Coxsone” Dodd.
