    God Jah bliss the Reggae greats and mr Gregory Isaac's will aways be one off them. In 70ts we got a lot come in on Vincent and Island. But there was a man pushing it and playing it on B.B.C. radio, that's the D.J. John peel show, the man who did hes bit to put Reggae out there .

    I seen Gregory Isaacs in concert in the '90s. He was as cool as his "Cool Ruler" name. "Objection Overruled" is one of my all-time favorites from him. R.I.P Mr. Isaacs...

    Thanks for this coverage. I am a huge Gregory fan..always loved and had a soft spot for him. Loved his style and his ""OOOH AAHH" . Such a pity he got caught up in some bad things, but I loved him same way. 🙏⚘💋

    My favorite roots reggae singer. Was lucky enough to see him here in NYC in a sSummerstage concert in Central Park with John Holt and Barrington Levy. Gregory was a little past his prime buy still wonderful. I have all his albums up until 1986.

    Once again, very good coverage of a Reggae Icon. The only correction I think, would be the amount of songs. You said he made over 500 albums but I think it's more like 500 singles.
