Derrick Morgan is a true legend in reggae circles. The founding powerhouse of ska, he has remained popular for almost 40 years. And if his reception at 1996's Heartbeat Culture Splash Tour is any indication, this giant of Jamaican music has no need of retiring. The crowds just couldn't get enough. This collection features 21 of Derrick Morgan most requested tracks and covers the years 1959 to 1996. Here you will find such bands as the Skatalites, Lyn Taitt & the Jets and the Soul Syndicate Band. Most tracks have never before been made available on CD. Great song after great song, this collection is one you can't stop listening to.
