The best of Gregory Isaacs Part 2 leads up to when Gregory Isaacs was called ”The Cool Ruler” partly due to an enormous popularity in Jamaica late 70’s and early 80’s. But also because of his cool laid back style which shines through in songs like the wonderful ’Special Guest’ or the erotic ’Cool You’ and in big hits like ’Mr. Brown’. The later is a well known plot in his songs where he takes the richer daughter out whatever her parents say. How music defeats poverty and hunger for a while is another common theme. In ’John Public’ he announces that he really got something special going on with the starting line ”she was between 18 and 21…” Well age ain’t nothing but a number! 
’A Riot’ deals with Gregory Isaacs early time spent in jail, a heavy biting tune with a lot of rage and threats towards the jail system. ’Poor And Clean’ is my favourite tune and a typical left wing tune where he states that being poor is better than living rich in corruption. Heard it first almost 30 years ago but I still listen to it 3-4 times in a row. 
For me this list of songs are the best reason in the world to listen to reggae from the late 70’s. It just ain’t getting better than songs like ’One More Time’ or ’Border’!

After experimenting with various musical instruments in his formative years, Zion's Gate Sound owner Selecta Element started rapping as MC Element in 1993, at the age of 13.
