Lewis and Clark Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Gregory Isaacs, 59, the Jamaican-born reggae singer who was known as the "cool ruler" for his smooth, romantic singing style and who popularized the reggae subgenre known as lover's rock, died of lung cancer Oct. 25 at his home in London. Unlike so-called roots rock singers Bob Marley and Burning Spear, who popularized songs that reflected world politics and the Rastafarian culture, Mr. Isaacs was best known for his love songs, many of which he wrote. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/10/25/AR2010102501666.html?hpid=topnews http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-gregory-isaacs-20101026,0,2253575.story?track=rss http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11618670 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
