Reggae-Sänger Gregory Isaacs gestorben.

Wir trauern um eine weitere Reggae-Legende

Im Alter von 59 Jahren erlag Gregory Isaacs am Montag, 25.10.2010,
seiner Krebserkrankung.

Der Cool Ruler, wie Gregory Isaacs genannt wurde, hat in seiner vier Jahrzehnte dauernden Karriere mehr als 50 Alben veröffentlicht und mit nahezu allen namhaften Produzenten und Musikern Jamaikas zusammengearbeitet. Die in den 70er Jahren entstandenen Alben markieren sicherlich seine produktive und musikalische Hochphase. Der kommerzielle Durchbruch gelang ihm mit dem Album “Night Nurse” Anfang der 80er Jahre. Mit einer unverwechselbaren Stimme gesegnet, gelang ihm wie kaum einem anderen der Spagat zwischen Conscious Roots und Lovers Tunes.
Isaacs hatte seit den 80er Jahren mit seiner Alokohol- und Drogensucht zu kämpfen, die ihn nicht davon abhielt, überall auf der Welt aufzutreten und weiter Platten zu veröffentlichen.
Er starb im Kreis seiner Familie in London.

Rest in peace
