Reggae Star Gregory Isaacs Dies at 59
Reggae singer Gregory Isaacs has died at his London home aged 59 after a lengthy battle with cancer. His family was with him until the end.
Best known for his 1982 hit, ‘Night Nurse’, Isaacs’ smoother style of reggae epitomised the Lovers Rock sub-genre but he’d been recording since entering the Jamaican music scene in his teens. Isaacs’ career began in the late 1960s and he later came to prominence in the following decade as a roots singer whose sufferer’s songs gave him his first public recognition.
