Default RIP Cool Ruler

I know there are a lot of fellow west indians on this forums. By now i am sure most of you have heard that Mr. Gregory Isaacs passed away yesterday from cancer at the age of 59. He was truly a driving force in what we all grew up on as Reggae or Lovers Rock music. He surely will be missed.....

You are one lucky person to have met him....

This sucks though now all three of my favorite reggae artist have all passed away. But they all made music that spoke to us in their own ways.

1. Garnett Silk
2. Dennis Brown
3. Gregory Isaacs

Lol.... If you only knew. My ringtone on my phone is Supercat- Sweets for my sweet. I grew up in a House where music is basically life for some of my relatives. Sound Systems, Producing, etc... If you can't beat them join them!
