One of Jamaica’s most beloved vocalists who was as pertinent in dancehalls as he was in bedrooms, Gregory Isaacs’ career stretched over 30 years. From the heady days of reggae through lovers rock, a genre he virtually invented, his talent reached into the modern age.
Born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1951, Isaacs started his singing career in the early 80’s and set up his own label in 1973 with Errol Dunkley. In less than a decade he had become one of the top reggae singers in the world. Suffering from a number of personal problems over the years he continued to record and release his music and it was his 1988 album “Red Rose For Gregory” that made him a worldwide household name.
