Gregory Issacs Dies At Age 59 Today!

The Washington Post  is running the story of Mr. Gregory Issacs passing in England this morning.  Best known for the hit Night Nurse, and his own soulful style Gregory Issacs will be truly missed in the world of Reggae and as a great contributor to Reggae music. 

Born in Kingston, JA.  July 15, 1951.  1979 was the year I really paid attention to Gregory with the Soon Forward album and of course he blew up the place with Night Nurse in 1982.  1983 he released Out Deh, which was for me one of his best.  Every song was tight and you never wanted to fast forward (not skipping tracks in those days...lol) on this one.  Not only was he known for his love songs but, also songs of the times with tunes like Black a Kill Black and Rumors, just to mention a couple.

I had the good fortune of seeing Mr. Issacs in concert on a couple of occasions and was never disappointed.  Mr. Gregory peace be with your family and peace to your soul.
