  • The Story of Gregory Issac will change your life | say no to drugs
    In his teenage years, Isaacs became a veteran of the talent contests that regularly took place in Jamaica. In 1968, he made his recording debut as Winston Sinclair, with the single "Another Heartache", recorded for producer Byron Lee. The single sold poorly and Isaacs went on to team up with Errol Dunkley to start the African Museum record label and shop, and soon had a hit with "My Only Lover", credited as the first lovers rock record ever made. He recorded for other producers to finance further African Museum recordings, having a string of hits in the three years that followed, ranging from ballads to roots reggae, including "All I Have Is Love", "Lonely Soldier", "Black a Kill Black", "Extra Classic" and his cover version of Dobby Dobson's "Loving Pauper". In 1974, he began working with producer Alvin Ranglin, and that year he had his first Jamaican no. 1 single with "Love Is Overdue".

    Most people will remember Gregory "The Cool Ruler" Isaacs for many of his great songs and his epic role in the film Rockers.
    Unfortunately, like several well-known artists in the music world, he was later to go down hill as a recording artist and performer. Nonetheless, his name and music will long be remembered for all the right reasons.
    My favourite tune of his is Tribute to Wa De, a true roots sound system tune.

    There is a element in the music 🎵 industry who knows the value of Jamaican roots rock reggae music 🎵 more than the average artist do know about their own products. To day that element is cashing in on their work while they R.I.P! Such an unfortunate situation.

    Don’t mind the drugs,that’s his business,concentrate on the music he made,probably the most prolific artist in reggae.
