RIP Gregory Isaacs

Another day, another musical legend falls. Gregory Isaacs possessed a voice that suggested controlled passion and exuded warmth in every song. His best work, in my opinion, was in the 70s, but there are gems scattered throughout his extremely prolific output.



"My Only Lover" is so good a marriage of musical and vocals that I had to post it. Maybe it's just my soft-spot for Lovers Rock, but what a flawless track; and it's just one of many in a remarkable back catalogue. RIP Gregory Isaacs.
