Gregory Isaacs (born on 15 July 1951 in Fletchers Land, Kingston, Jamaica and died on 25 October 2010 in London) was a Reggae singer and songwriter. Gregory Anthony Isaacs is known as "The Cool Ruler" for his seductive crooning vocal style. Gregory attributed his greatest musical influences to R&B greats Sam Cooke and Percy Sledge, in addition to Delroy Wilson, Alton Ellis and Ken Boothe.
In the late 1960s, Gregory first performed in a vocal trio called The Concords, after being encouraged by Byron Lee. By 1970 the group had split up. He subsequently formed his own label, African Museum.
In the late 1970s he emerged as one of the most prolific and popular recording artists in Jamaica. He released a number of self-produced singles on his own African Museum (JA) label with Errol Dunkley. Much of Isaacs' output reflected the 'conscious' themes of Roots Reggae, but Isaacs was equally adept at interpreting more mainstream Lovers Rock material. Early hits include "My Only Lover", "Sinner Man" and "Mr. Cop", recorded at Lee Perry's Black Ark Studio.
A period in the 1970s with the GG's label and its producer Alvin Ranglin produced hits like "Border" and "Number One".
Personal problems affected him, particularly battles with a cocaine addiction and a possession charge, which prevented him from touring in North America for a significant part of his career, until a pardon could eventually be secured.
Isaacs recorded with a number of producers, including the Riddim Twin's (Sly & Robbie) Taxi Records, who gave them their first hit with 1979's "Soon Forward" , After a series of releases with Sly & Robbie, Gregory built a strong relationship with Gussie Clarke of the Music Works label. In addition to these local Jamaican labels, The Cool Ruler had had releases on Trojan, VP, Virgin's Front Line and English producer Tad A. Dawkin's Tad's Records. Isaacs would would eventually sign with Chris Blackwell's Island Records which resulted in the international release of Night Nurse (1982) and Out Deh! (1983).
Perhaps his most popular recordings in his native Jamaica are "All I Have Is Love", "Mr. Brown" and "Hard Drugs", the latter being an anti-drug anthem that dominated radio in the late 1980s and was released as a hidden track on England's Tad Records All I Have Is Love, Love Love LP.
In the 1990s Gregory's African Museum label continued to release all of Gregory Isaacs' music, and that of artists he produced. He continued to record and perform live in the 2000s, and it has been estimated that Isaacs has released over 500 records in his career, which includes singles and compilations.
Isaacs, who was 59 years old, died of lung cancer on 25 October 2010 at his home in London where he spent part of his time. A sad loss to the world.

oh pakke rang wangu balliye, mitran de vaade pakke ne
banda jehri chiz piche bhajda, os kolu paindeh dhakke ne
oh pakke rang wangu balliye, mitran de vaade pakke ne
banda jehri chiz piche bhajda, os kolu paindeh dhakke ne

ajj nahi te kal aaju lamborghini, karan har wish poori main

main kara tenu call kite ke app abhi katar main hein, gussa

lamborghini tu fireh mangdi, saal kharh hundal ni leh dauga
mohali wale de saare yaar bomb ne, kharh jaan ge ni jithe

She ignores me and gets angry
oh fireh mardi
She gets very angry

She doesn't like brown-skinned guys
oh pakke rang wangu balliye, mitran de vaade pakke ne
My friends and I are true to our word like our skin color
banda jehri chiz piche bhajda, os kolu paindeh dhakke ne
The guy who's always following me gets pushed hard
ni sanu ignore kardi, ignore kardi, rabb eho tym tere te liyawe
She's ignoring me and blaming God for it
ik week dil laun ge, dooje week dil torh deen ge
We'll fall in love one week and break up the next week
yaar hit & run wala karke, fer passa vatt lehn ge
My friend will hit and run, then take the money
fireh gi ohde nall larhdi, nall larhdi, ni tenu pichu hoon ge pashtave
She'll fight with him, and later you'll regret it
rang hai brown jiven, choco chocolate, i wanna make you mine kara tenu tenu date
Your brown skin like chocolate, I wanna date you
ajj nahi te kal aaju lamborghini, karan har wish poori main haan tera genie
Today or tomorrow, I'll get you a Lamborghini, I'm your genie
apne dil nu farhool te u see me, oh husan tera te oye hoye, banan nu firah main toy boy
Looking at your beauty, I become a happy toy boy
jadu kardi blush gallah hoo jaan red, sanu kare ignore like kare tu Bread
When you blush, it takes us aback, you ignore us like bread
main kara tenu call kite ke app abhi katar main hein, gussa bada aawe par hum abhi pyaar main hain
I'll call you somewhere, I'm waiting now, you might get mad, but I'm still in love
lamborghini tu fireh mangdi, saal kharh hundal ni leh dauga mohali wale de saare yaar bomb ne, kharh jaan ge ni jithe keh dauga
If you ask for a Lamborghini, I won't be able to buy it, all of my Mohali friends are bombs, they'll stand wherever I say
oh bada kuj ditta rabb ne, ditta rabb ne, par kariye na kade v dikhawe
God has given me a lot, but I never show it off

on Dieting
Lord
Lord
I sit and wonder have I sinned
As I partake of my dieting, yeah
Just to know that every day, oh yeah
My whole life depend on a food tray, yeah
An happy day, a night of pain
I wonder when this a-term will end
Cos I'm a man and I've got to go
I don't know when I'm gonna get parole
But I'm a-one day
I'm a-one day
Yes, I'm a-one day
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
The place in which that I dwell, Lord knows
Was just an old iron gate in hell, yeah
But still I survive
The foolish man always build strife
Nuh want no baton stick come bruck me bone
The worldly man, leave me alone
Cos I'm a man and I've got to go
I don't know when I'm gonna get parole
But I'm a-one day
I'm a-one day
Yes, I'm a-one day
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
Uunh
One day closer to home
I sit and wonder have I sinned, Lord God
As I partake of my dieting
Hurts to know that every day, every long day
My whole life depend on a food tray
An happy day, a night of pain
I wonder when this a-term will end
Cos I'm a man and I've got to go
I don't know when I'm gonna get parole
But I'm a-one day
I'm a-one day
I'm a-one day
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
One day closer to home
To home
I need, aah
To home
One day closer

on Dieting
The tune, 'Dieting', is absolutely, totally and completely the hottest and the coolest tune in this album. It is absolutely massive. It is my absolute best. Anyone who thinks otherwise has NOT listened to it yet. It is heartrending in its story -- Gregory's harrowing experience in prison -- hard in its riddim (Roots Radics at their best) and soul uplifting in its melody. Jesus! Are you guys kidding me? 'Dieting' is without parrallel in this album.

on A Few Words
Cool Ruler had classic voice, ......one of those voice one can't imitate. these songs sang more than 30 years ago will still be played and relevant more than a century later... R.I.P

on Front Door
"The white men lose", does not make sense...."While I may lose"
Gicharu
on Better Plant Some Loving
This was my best cassette of G.I , all songs with the exception of Let off Supm, were classic love songs. His collabo with Dennis Brown on Let off Supm was a gem
