Between 1967 and 1975, Desmond Dekker reached the UK charts seven times, becoming one of the genre’s most recognisable voices.

His landmark hit “Israelites” made history in April 1969 as the first Jamaican-produced single to reach No.1 in the UK.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Barney Frank was one of a kind. For more than three decades in Congress, he fought tirelessly for the people of Massachusetts, helped make housing more affordable, stood up for the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans, and helped pass one of the most sweeping financial reforms in history designed to protect consumers and prevent another financial crisis. Barney’s passion and wit were second to none, and our thoughts are with his family today.

Polish-born painter Tamara de Lempicka was born #OnThisDay in 1898. Her 1927-30 portrait "Jeune fille en vert" features a Bright Young Thing in a draped green dress similar in style to this 1930 Patou green silk crêpe evening dress. @deyoungmuseum @CentrePompidou #fashionhistory

Walila is about karma, and how what we do eventually finds its way back to us.

Writing this song started in a very playful way, but became something deeper. It grew into a story about that moment when everything is finally revealed and justice arrives after feeling wronged.

Before every Bond film had that big signature theme, there was this.

At Abbey Road in 1964, Shirley Bassey recorded "Goldfinger".

This song helped set the template for the Bond themes that followed
