OBV pays tribute to Reggae legend Gregory Isaacs

Already well known in Kingston Jaimaca during the late sixties, Isaacs became an international star when he signed for Richard Branson's Virgin Records in 1978.

During his heyday there were few stars that were bigger than Greggory Issacs. He moved again to Island records in a bid to further explore his creativity where he made his now famous 'Night Nurse' album. Released in 1982 and recorded at Bob Marley's Tuff Gong studio, the record reached number 32 in the UK

Isaac fell victim to the worst vices of fame and fortune including a long battle with drug addiction and a spell in prison for fire arms possession.

Thankfully this genius will be remembered for the beautiful music he wrote and played and for the pleasure it gave his millions of fans around the world.

Rest in peace Gregory Isaacs.
