We Lost A Great One

[NoSmoke]

Today one of the biggest icons in reggae music has passed, Mr. Gregory Isaacs "The Cool Ruler". I had the privilege of discovering his music during my honeymoon in Jamaica and instantly feel in love, he will surely be missed by the music community.

some of my favorite tracks by Gregory:

"The Border"

"Kingston 14"

"Night Nurse"

"Temptation"

"If I Don't Have You"

"Material Man"

Gregory is also featured in a very well produced documentary called "Made In Jamaica" I HIGHLY recommend it, it's really good
