[MadCrazyScotlandUKTV]

What a version, love love love it

[german18072]

love this version. People this is a popular song so the original is lost, for me this is the best version. Love bob, but theres more spirit in the way cool r sing it, and the live voice of gregory is way better

[kawaim0m0]

@german, totally agree. Cool Ruler for I-ver!

[MrSecretCamera]

Droopy was a black man <33

[rostocker44]

love it, and especially the noise! ;)

[SulivanCourt]

Ladies and gentlemen: the Cool Ruler.

Amazing voice, cool ruler x

Gregorys voice is the only voice that can chill me out.

[LodudOaH]

RESPECT GREGORY ISAACS

[mumaves]

couldnt agree more = )

[MUCKSTAR123]

im with you stujb

[stujb]

It's the best cover of the other covers, though I still feel the original is the best, just my 2p though.

[MarioBonafe]

This cover is way better than the original, and that don't happen so much, Gregory a good second after Bob!

[bw99999]

@MarioBonafe It's funny cover....but orginal is much better...no doubt :)

[bergandhod]

wow, what a great cover!

[zagaofmars]

the best version

[1963specialK]

Best version ever!!

[PantheraAtrox]

Gregory; High class always.

[weststarvibes]

[Qrizter]

Yes, its the official video och Gregorys version of this song

[TheChelseaDave]

Great version, brings a tear to my eye....

[LUKILER]

Gregory Tijolada!!!

[fannylibre]

band original du film rai jai vu tu a raison je m'escuse ( (the House of the Rising Sun). La chanson a également été interprétée par Muse, Gregory Isaacs, Tommy Emmanuel,Sinéad O'Connor. Johnny Hallyday a repris la mélodie dans Les portes du pénitencier [2].

[OursRoots]

Pas du tout !!!!

[aamnf7]

This is horrible. Not sure what you all see in this, honestly. Where exactly is the talent? His voice sucks too. All the other versions I've heard of this song are way better. Hell, even the Asian.

This man sounds like a slurring drunk.

[Sampipower]

are you talkin seriously?? Fuc. Off

[Qrizter]

haha, go listen to your Britney Spears collection

[la08smt]

i hope thats not for me.

[Qrizter]

No way. Hmm, must been someone who have taken away their coment.

[Sampipower]

Hi Man, i bougth Pardon Me! ... a Masterpiece, Muy Bueno!! Saludos desde Argentina y Aguante el Reggae!!

[kawaim0m0]

If you don't like please respect Gregory and the people who likes it.

[chrisisio]

get lost in your bad taste. ur right to write your critics but honestly, i am sorry for you. gregory isaac is burning!!!!!!!!

[oOHausschuhOo]

FAIL :D

[Qrizter]

RIP what? Gregory is still live and kicking, touring and recording

[kawaim0m0]

Yeah, and I hope for many years!! BTW somebody knows something about his health? I read he had to cancel the US tour due to illness. Hope you are ok my number one! Much blessings!

[Qrizter]

He cancel his tour due to a swollen knee/leg.

After that he also got chest pains. But, at the start of september he went to tour US. He have done some new recordings too. Back in business

[kawaim0m0]

Thanks Qrizter. Glad to hear is back and ruling again :-)

[Sampipower]

Hello Qrizter, do you know where can i find this Audio?? Thank you for share this , una Joya, Saludos Loco

[Qrizter]

Is on the album "Pardon me". I have it on a 12"

[kawaim0m0]

Not comparable with tosh, but together with dennis brown, they are my top 3 ;-)

Respect

[marsala92]

Du bon son rien a dire.

[Romank007]

this is a great version but does not compare with the animals

[MrMalovi]

Mr Isaacs GIGANTE !!! ESTE TIPO SI QUE SABE !! gracias por esos recitales en el luna park !

[mamatou1]

una bomba bombastica!

[MrPulpar]

Woah! this version Is so cool! I didn't even know this guy, But he is my new hero;)

[mrmrjoseba]

asa reggae lover...for me the best version of the song by far...nice music nd lovely voice, the only version come close is bob dylan´s, it´s got lots of caracter and talent, the rest...pink floyd, nice music, so is the animals, others.... sidney o´conor or Dolly Parton, my goodness gracious...no comment.....but no body beats...THE COOL ROULER... peace from Malaga , spain.europe.

[saladefrites]

Paix à ton âme.

Peace to your spirit.

[kawaim0m0]

that sounds like a message to a death and the Cool Ruler is still showing what reggae is all about

[saladefrites]

Hello kawaim0m0,

Sorry, but, did not he die?

Can be that I made a mistake.

I like his songs.

Rgrds

[Qrizter]

No, he did not die. He is recordning and soon he will be touring the US once again(end of sep)

[saladefrites]

Super and sory for my mistake.

I'm very very happy. It'is like a resurection.

Rgrds and many thanks Qrizter.

-------

Super et désolé pour mon erreur.

Je suis très très contant. C'est comme une résurection.

Respect et mile mercis Qrizter

[dadou145]

[groovemonzter]

[XrasBambu]

[Preekcrap2]

Very nice recording

[JonathanLV91]

Sorry, I don't like this version-I think it sound funny.

I mean, it's fine, but I've heard much more strong and touching version.

[sweeper1593]

like which ones?

[alusafallax]

this is a REGGAE VERSION. if you don't like reggae you can not enjoy it....

[putci76]

i think the song sounds best in classical amplified

[EkBalam707]

",,There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Risin' Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor man.

And God, I know I'm one".

Great Gregory Isaacs

[ChaotixPL]

this version rocks ! 5/5

[carlwyllie]

No wonder hes the cool ruler.Respect is due

[blogward]

Thanks for posting. Bit of a throwaway vocal from Gregory there but you can't beat a tight bit of reggae. 5*

[Monoromik]

wait isn't it "young poor boy" ? Still good vid. 5/5

[WesternSteven714]

no one really knows the origin of the song for sure so the lyrics are still debated

[DocVuDu]

if a couple of you knuckle-heads :^P would [could?] just listen to this in its own right, without comparing it to completely different artists' versions, or Isaac's own creations, you'd hear both roots and heart put into this version.

Seriously--try another listen and see if you don't hear something else with that separation. Jah upon us all.

[slaveofawal]

the old version is better

[Mupuro]

Dont compare it with the old its his own creation and i think it rocks

[slaveofawal]

the old one blows this out the water

[BadPsyTron]

Nice :)

5 *****

[carole7777]

[PantheraAtrox]

True Reggae legend, Gregory Isaacs.

[karinablacktie]

Although The Animals first popularized the song, it is an old folk song --- perhaps has early as the 18th century. The first known recording was from 1933.

[fostiman]

:s perhaps? everhyone knows its gthat old but no your right the earliest recording is the 1933 one

[rastablader]

The animals version is a good song and this reggae version is a great translation of the origional, really catch, nice bass line too.
