Gregory "Cool Ruler" Isaacs has died at the age of 59 after a long battle with lung cancer at his home in
London. Gregory Isaacs was born in Kingston, Jamaica on July 15, 1951.

Gregory Issacs is one of the most famous of all the Jamaican reggae stars to emerge in the '70s. He never achieved the same level of commercial success enjoyed by Bob Marley, Dennis Brown or Jimmy Cliff but classic tunes like 'Slave Master', 'Down The Line', 'Cool Ruler', 'Black a Kill Black', and (of course) 'Night Nurse' place him firmly amongst the all time greats.
