Today, the world learned that Gregory Isaacs passed away from lung cancer at the young age of 60. He died at his house in London after a long battle with lung cancer. I have fond memories of when I first heard Gregory Isaacs and started to develop a liking for his music. People are right to say that his sound was just so cool. In reality, he has many hits such as Number One and Hush Darling, but the song that will always be associated with Gregory is Night Nurse. Night Nurse was so far ahead of its time and is an all around classic.
Besides making smooth and cool reggae music, Gregory Isaacs played a role in the Jamaican slang classic, Rockers. If you haven’t seen Rockers, you really must for so many reasons. A chance to see Gregory Isaacs and other reggae greats on the stage is definitely one of them.
Gregory Isaacs joins many of the reggae legends that have made the transition, you will be missed but not forgotten.
