I'm listening in Dec 2022 at 70 years old. Still looking for some killer 12" 45's I may have missed. I've seen him in concert as well as Bob Marley two times and most major Reggae acts that passed through Philly in the Roots years. That's how old I am but still addicted to Roots Rock Reggae which I consider to be the progression of the great progressive rock of the 60's. IMHO.
A Rich Man Heaven is a poor mans Hell . Nothing more to say Brother . Your music touches all of us . Because its tru and not bullshit . Forget Reggae DJ's screaming at you , your soft whispers drown them out Brethren . A Quiet storm is what you are .
Gregory Isaacs is Jamaica’s greatest Poet ever. The proof is in the writing and rendition and then he adds wicked music wid wicked bass line. Hooked. Only Beres lyrics ones anywhere name close. Manners and respect Mr Gregory. Pull Up again
This small thread says everything.... Kenya, USA and UK... Real original reggae is loved everywhere and can rule the world but is still kept underground so to speak. I blast reggae when I drive around and it puts me in a good mood.
Aaaaaaarrrrggggggghhhhh ni 2021 one month shy na I am not ashamed to say hiii ngoma inanimalizaaaaaaa. Uuuuuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii for sure I would rather live poor and clean..... Blessed are those that are pure in heart for they shall see Jah
Yes i,massive killa tune with the very best musicians,Mr,cool Gregory Issac and sly pon d drum,s why Robbie is pon d bass,i love dis spiritual sang alot I still remember blazing it in the 80,s dis one can,t fade.Respect fi all Jah people,one love.
Listening to his singing just relaxes me throughout the day, makes me smile hearing the lonely lover crooning plaintively for a Rasta lover or being caught up in life's complexities, knowing full well that the brother could get any woman he desires.lol
This music genre should be played regularly on all radio stations in my troubled country ZIMBABWE in particular this track. Anywhere thank you the Cool ruler MYSRIIP.
A beautiful Rasta brother with a silky smooth voice that my wife and I went to see in Norwalk,CT,USA. Wish he had a stayed with his black wife, but very man has a right to determine his own destiny. Groove on brother cool ruler crooning to angels now. Massive respect
A rich man's heaven is a poor man's hell So many years I've been slaving in your factory Never had a chance to talk with the boss And for so long I've been living in this old community Where no one knew my pain yet I've paid the cost No one knew my pain lord yet I've paid the cost But I would rather to live poor and clean Than to live rich in corruption I said that I've I've got to live clean Cause Jah has got to pass down judgement Said I wanna be clean Can't you see what I mean? Wanna be strong All day long I would rather to live poor and clean Than to live rich in corruption I wanna be clean Can't you see what I mean? A rich man's heaven is a poor man's hell
Classic Gregory. The words are regrettably still very relevant today. So mash down Babylon oppressors and do not let the wicked and corrupt people win. One love to the non oppressors.
Called POOR AND CLEAN A rich mans heaven is a poor mans hell So many years I've been slaving in your factory Never had a chance to talk to the boss And for so long I've been living in this Old community ,where no one knows my fate Yet I pay the cost No one knows my fate yet I pay the cost But I would rather live poor and clean Than rich in corruption I said I've got to live clean Cause JAH has got to pass down judgement I said I wanna be clean Can't you see what I mean?

A rich man's heaven is a poor man's hell
So many years I've been slaving in your factory
Never had a chance to talk with the boss
And for so long I've been living in this old community
Where no one knew my pain yet I've paid the cost
No one knew my pain lord yet I've paid the cost
But I would rather to live poor and clean
Than to live rich in corruption
I said that I've I've got to live clean
Cause Jah has got to pass down judgement
Said I wanna be clean
Can't you see what I mean?
Wanna be strong
All day long
I would rather to live poor and clean
Than to live rich in corruption
I wanna be clean
Can't you see what I mean?
A rich man's heaven is a poor man's hell
What a great song! RESPECT
Greatest of all times
love dis tune
If i would have our wish then this would be it, though God's pay is the most sublime. Bless you all.
But i would rather to live poor and clean dan live in corruption...positive vibes from the wise man..
His voice is the one I miss the most. He is the cool ruler. Rip Gregory.
Classic Gregory. The words are regrettably still very relevant today. So mash down Babylon oppressors and do not let the wicked and corrupt people win. One love to the non oppressors.

Called POOR AND CLEAN
A rich mans heaven is a poor mans hell
So many years I've been slaving in your factory
Never had a chance to talk to the boss
And for so long I've been living in this
Old community ,where no one knows my fate
Yet I pay the cost
No one knows my fate yet I pay the cost
But I would rather live poor and clean
Than rich in corruption
I said I've got to live clean
Cause JAH has got to pass down judgement
I said I wanna be clean
Can't you see what I mean?
Wanna be strong
All day long
I would rather to live poor and clean
Than to live rich in corruption
I wanna be clean
Can't you see what I mean?
