This morning the "Cool Ruler", Gregory Isaacs, passed away from lung cancer at his home in Jamaica. Isaacs was most famous for his slow jams, starting the Reggae movement "Lovers Rock" in the late 70s and early 80s. Sadly he's been in the news in the last decade primarily for his addiction to crack cocaine and not for his smooth tenor. Here's one of my favorites from the "Lonely Lover", "Tune In":
