It Miek (sometimes appearing as "It Mek" or "A It Mek") was a 1969
hit song by the Jamaican musicians
Desmond Dekker & the Aces. After being re-released in June 1969, the single reached number 7 in the
UK Singles Chart. The track was
written by Dekker (under his real name of Desmond Dacres) and his record producer,
Leslie Kong, and was recorded in Jamaica with the
brass accompaniment added in the UK. It spent eleven weeks in the UK
chart, and by September 1970 had sold over a million copies worldwide. A
gold record was presented by Ember Records, the distributors of Dekker's
recordings.
