This is an album by Desmond Dekker from 1980, it's got a more slick production than his older stuff, but the quality is still evident. The tracks to look out for on Black and Dekker are the classics with a new reworking, ''Israelites'', ''Lickin' Stick'' and ''It Mek''. Another track on the album which is magnificent is ''Please Don't Bend'', he also does a ravishing rendition of the Jimmy Cliff classic ''Many Rivers To Cross''. Towards the end of the album there are some more classics ''007'', ''Problems'', ''Rude Boy Train'' and there is another stunner which has some very deep and thoughtful lyrics, the song ''Why Fight?''. The Stiff Records recordings from 1980 and 1981 reflect Dekker in a time of maturity and wisdom.
