 GREGORY ISAACS - BEST OF GREGORY THE RULER.
Gregory Anthony Isaacs (15 July 1951 – 25 October 2010)[1][2][3] was a Jamaican reggae musician. Milo Miles, writing in The New York Times, described Isaacs as "the most exquisite vocalist in reggae".[4] His nickname was the Cool Ruler.[5]
International stardom seemed assured in 1978 when Isaacs signed to the Virgin Records offshoot Front Line Records, and appeared in the film Rockers, in which he performed "Slavemaster".[6] The Cool Ruler (which became one of his nicknames) and Soon Forward albums, however, failed to sell as well as expected,[6] although they are now considered among his best work.[8] In 1981, he made his first appearance at the Reggae Sunsplash festival (returning annually until 1991), and he moved on to the Charisma Records offshoot Pre, who released his The Lonely Lover (another nickname that stuck) and More Gregory albums along with a string of increasingly successful singles including "Tune In", "Permanent Lover", "Wailing Rudy" and "Tribute to Waddy".[9] He signed to Island Records and released the record that finally saw him break through to a wider audience, "Night Nurse", the title track from his first album for the label (Night Nurse (1982)).[9] Although "Night Nurse" was not a chart hit in either the UK or US, it was hugely popular in clubs and received heavy radio play, and the album reached #32 in the UK.[10] This success for Isaacs coincided with drug problems with cocaine which saw him serve a six-month prison sentence in Kingston in 1982 for possession of unlicensed firearms.[9][11] Isaacs claimed that he had the weapons only for protection, but it emerged that this was his 27th arrest and that Isaacs had become involved in drug dealing and had become addicted to crack cocaine.[11] He celebrated his release from prison with his second album for Island, Out Deh! (1983).[9] Isaacs was featured in the 1982 documentary Land of Look Behind.
Isaacs' drug addiction had a major impact on his voice, with most of his teeth falling out as a result.[11] Isaacs said of his addiction in 2007: "Drugs are a debasing weapon. It was the greatest college ever, but the most expensive school fee ever paid – the Cocaine High School. I learnt everything, and now I've put it on the side."[11]
