"Desi Roots aka Desmond Young is one of those talented, but rather obscure and neglected singers from Jamaica. Born in Kingston, he was a member of the famous Now Generation Band. He also provided backing vocals for a number of albums, including the 1976 Inner Circle album Reggae Thing. At the end of the 1970’s he embarked on a solo career. He released several quality singles and in 1980, on the British reggae label Hawkeye, he released his debut set Doing It Right. It was a co-production of himself and Roy Allen-Forbes of Hawkeye Records. The excellent album was recorded at several Kingston studios and featured the top-of-the-line musicians of that time. On this album you’ll find four titles of the 12 inches: Weed Fields, He Ain’t Coming, Go Deh Right and Nature Boy. The follow-up album came in 1982 and was called Children In Exile. This one was also a co-production on Hawkeye Records, but recorded at the Dynamic Studio. On this record the fifth title is featured, Changing. After this period he occasionally recorded a tune and did some backing vocals. Later he became president of the Jamaica Federation of Musicians, an organization now called Jamaica Federation of Musicians & Affiliates Union (JFMAU)."
