The passing of reggae’s critically acclaimed, “Extra Classic” singer, Gregory Isaacs, certainly calls for a special update from Shockout.com. With close to 70 albums and hundreds of compilation releases, ‘The Cool Ruler’ started his music career in the late sixties and pleased millions with his charm on stage unitl passing this year in October. This mix called Vintage Cool Ruler comes from the morning I learned of Gregory's passing. It highlights the early years of Gregory when hit singles were recorded with Jamaica’s award wining studio band, Soul Syndicate. You’ll also get a nice dose of hit selections from the late 70’s and early 80’s recorded with studio musicians Sly & Robbie and Roots Radics. All material from this mix comes from six of Gregory’s albums, which are available on places like ebreggae.com, amazon.com, and I Tunes. If you’d like to know which albums the songs come from, refer to the play list below. Respect and love to you Mr. Isaacs - Jah Mex
