Gregory Anthony Isaacs was born on July 15 1951, Fletchers Land, Kingston, Jamaica. Isaacs became a veteran of the talent contests that regularly took place in Jamaica. In 1968, he made his recording debut with a duet with Winston Sinclair, "Another Heartache", recorded for producer Byron Lee.

Researchers at the CDC studied 8,153 men who have sex with men in 21 U.S. cities. The men were taking part in the 2008 National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System, which looked at prevalence and awareness of...

9.58 is Usain Bolt's story so far, in his own words, beautifully illustrated with dozens of specially commissioned photographs.

It's about a skinny kid from the parish of Trelawny, where they harvest the best yams in the world. It's about growing up playing cricket and football in the warm Jamaican sun, then discovering that he could run fast, very fast. It's about family, friends and the laid-back Jamaican culture. It's about Auntie Lillian's pork and dumplings and Dad's grocery store in the sleepy village of Sherwood Content.

It's about what makes him...

While it remains to be seen if his long delayed trial will actually kick off this month as planned, what seems far more certain is that Jamaican Reggae & Dancehall superstar, Buju Banton, is set to release a brand new album through his very own Gargamel Music imprint, 'Before The Dawn'. The timing of the album is somewhat interesting as it also coincides with his trial in America on drug charges and it also happens to come just a year after releasing the very well received 'Rasta Got Soul' album.
