Dubtember 20

Today's match-up is Dubly Beloved Horace Andy 

& Newcomer to NSS Gregory Isaacs. 

 

 

Gregory Isaacs is a Lovers Rock stylist & the Cool Ruler. In the early 70s Isaacs teamed up with Errol Dunkley (of "Black Cinderella" fame)  to start the African Museum record label & shop. Isaacs first #1 single came in 1974 with "Love is Overdue". By the late 70s Isaacs was part of the triumvarite of Reggae along with Bob Marley & Dennis Brown.

In 1982 Isaacs released Night Nurse on Island Records which opened up a much wider audience. However...

                                                        [Cautionary Tale]
Cocaine & guns led Gregory to Kingston Prison. He served a six-month sentence for what proved to be his 27th arrest (mostly for possession or sales of crack cocaine). Isaacs's drug addiction had a major impact on his voice, with most of his teeth falling out as a result.

Thank Jah for Dub...
