Dear friends,

We are proud to announce the two winners of the Desmond Dekker contest, drawn among the correct answers we received :
Damien Chevaillier and Reinout Van Hasselt.
They will both receive a free copy of [This Is Desmond Dekkar](http://www.roots-archives.com/rotm/this ... ond_dekkar) offered by [Trojan Records](http://www.trojanrecords.net/).

And here are the answers we were expecting :

**Q1. What is the real name of Desmond Dekker ?**
Desmond Adolphus Dacres

**Q2. Which song of the Beatles has a reference to Desmond Dekker ?**
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da

**Q3. What incident inspired Desmond Dekker to write his song 'It Mek' ?**
'It Mek' was inspired by Desmond's younger sister Elaine, who fell off a wall at home and cried for ice water to put on it.

We would like to thank everyone who entered the contest. And don't forget to take your chance with [this month contest](http://www.roots-archives.com/contest/).

i lost !! lol

Bumboklaat!! I lost too! Hehehe!
Jah Bless

I got them all right but didn't win =(

damn,i mixed up two clash songs with eachother for the new contest and it looks likei won't win this month either,if joe strummer could just enunciate better it'd be easier to remember lyrics

the first question was very easy for a Clash fan, but the second?? if it´s a rare album i guess its hard to take a look at the label

it makes me mad that i screwed up the easy question and got the hard one right:(
