Gregory Isaacs A Pass On Ova...

Sadly, Gregory Isaacs passed on in London on the 25th, after a long battle with lung cancer, at age 59. The Cool Ruler AKA the Lonely Lover was active in the studio this year, producing tracks for UK's Necessary Mayhem among others... With over 500 albums released in his name over his career (compilations included), Gregory surely left his mark an' continues to inspire. Here are some clips from of his earlier performances featuring live renditions of Tune In an' Poor & Clean, as well as a deadly version of Party in The Slum. Bless up!
