Gregory Isaacs a Jamaican reggae musician emerged In the 1970s as one of the most prolific and popular recording artists in Jamaica. With the GG’s label and its record producer, Alvin Ranglin produced hits like “Border” and “Number One”.
Isaacs signed an international release contract with Island Records, which resulted in the release of the albums Night Nurse (1982), probably his best known album among the many international music fans who had taken to reggae by then; and Out Deh! (1983).
In the 1990s the African Museum label continued to release all of Gregory Isaacs’ music, and that of artists he produced. In 1997 Simply Red covered Night Nurse and had a big hit with it. He continues to record and perform live in the 2000s. In 2005 Lady Saw produced another version of Night Nurse with her toasting over the original lyrics.
He recently performed at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 Inauguration at Jamaica. Isaacs also had a prominent role in the feature film “Rockers” alongside many reggae superstars of the time. (Taken from http://mog.com and www.wikipedia.org).
