Born and raised in Jamaica, Gregory Anthony Isaacs whose real name doubles as his stage name, discovered his musical gift early. As a teenager, he regularly competed in local talent contests to build his confidence. He officially entered the music industry in 1968, making his studio debut under the name Winston Sinclair.
Known later as "The Cool Ruler," Isaacs teamed up with Errol Dunkley to launch the smooth "lovers rock" reggae genre with the hit "My Only Lover." He built a massive catalog with labels like African Museum and collaborated with icons like Dennis Brown. After starring in the film Rockers, his international breakthrough arrived with Island Records' Night Nurse, earning him a Grammy nomination.
Gregory Isaac passed away in 2010. In 2016, Jamaica posthumously awarded him the Order of Distinction (Officer Class), honoring the boy from the talent shows who became a global reggae legend.
