Background notes
Archive material and source history
Gregory Isaacs was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1951. He started singing on the streets and at local talent shows, developing a vocal style that mixed the smoothness of lover's rock with roots reggae rhythms.
His 1982 song 'Night Nurse' became an instant classic, with its haunting melody and Isaacs' expressive delivery about seeking comfort. Other songs like 'Cool Down The Pace' and 'Feeling Irie' showed his range across different reggae moods.
Isaacs recorded extensively over three decades, putting out more than 50 albums including 'Night Nurse' in 1982, 'Private Beach' in 1985, and 'Red Rose for Gregory' in 1987. His music reached listeners well beyond reggae circles, with artists like Sade and UB40 covering his songs.
