RIP Gregory Isaacs (15/7/1951-25/10/2010)

"Night Nurse", is by far one of my favorite Gregory Isaacs songs. It was recorded in 1982 at Bob Marley's Tuff Gong Studios.







This reggae legend lost his battle with liver cancer yesterday, at the age of 59.  One of the most popular and versatile reggae artist, his name was often mentioned with the likes of Dennis Brown and Bob Marley.  He also attained a reported 50 arrest in his lifetime.  However that will not overshadow his prolific career, which spanned over four decades.  It is reported that he produced over 500 albums in his life time.  He also collaborated with the likes of Sugar Minott, Freddie McGregor and more.  His final album, Brand New Me, was released in 2008.
