Gregory Isaacs - Front Door 1981

[gorillasalads]

God the first time I heard this song I played it twice. But I didn't wear the LP out because I wanted to cherish it for special occasions. That's why I love vinyl. I've only done that for Heart of the Congos, Tenor Saw's Fever, Heptones' Party Time, and a few other select albums.

[cyneul]

Bad tune!!!!!

[MrNatureblack]

wicked tune

[MenengaiCrater]

The beats are just out of this world. Gregory Isaacs. "I mean it, yes I mean it, I dont wanna be lonely tonight..."

[slabbabwoy]

I dont wanna be lonely tonight, but I’d rather to be lonely than to live a dirty life!!!

[kennybighitfsr2011]

Dear Gregory, I'M SAD TO KNOW YOUR LEAVING, its NOT THE WAY i wanted you to go. There will be no SUBSTITUTE, for you ARE NUMBER ONE. Some say you are Going DOWN TOWN but i tell them to TUNE IN and watch you go up high ^_^.

YOU COOL DOWN THE PACE when you were here, so listing to your songs makes me FEEL IRIE. Whenever i feel sad i say to myself, "HUSH DARLING, he's playing to MR BROWN and a better audience in the at the venue in the sky. =( "

Rest in paradise Mr Issacs

[lennoxdavidson]

PICTURE THIS - A 12 years old boy left jamaica and came to his mum in England 1975 - can't hear no more reggae music. Until - one summers day in Brixton, Ferndale Court Sport Centre, Coxsone Sound System string up and played the hottest music on the air waves. FRONT DOOR. This young boy climb on to of a 15m wall the take in the vibes as the selecta rewind the tune and played it again, and again, and again according to popular demand that day. Pure Nicess. GREGORY.

[melenin09]

Gregory Isaacs is arguably the reatest singer in Reggae history and one of the greatest writers in the world when it comes to love songs. Second to him is Dennis Brown. He does his work with so much emotions and passion, a real singer, he was only unique in voice but his look his image was different a genuine artiste. RIP Gregory. And look I am in my 20s and Gregory has been my singer since I was a teenager.

[elwapooo7]

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE GREGORY ISAACS THE COOL RULER R.I.P MY BROTHER

[cheraims]

Everyone has their favourites by Mr G.I. It's impossible to have a favourite. I doubt that there has been anyone as productive and hard working as him in the history of JA music (and the hard work preceded the productive!), including Sir Bob. I was looking at my triple CD of G.I.'s "Love Songs" recently. It has 60 tracks. I thought, oh good - all my favourites in one place. But I've been on Youtube this week and found at least another 60 (Slave master, Mr Cop...)

CDF-Air (check myspace: cdfair)

[realhiphop79]

one off a the best R.I.P

[sanjuandread]

Yes of course, Lucky Dube... Thank you for the reminder mistermusic.

Jah Bless

[lurell1963]

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! Mr Ruler. that what this song is. RIP

[420BOYStv]

REST IN PEACE GREGORY!

[AliciaVGV]

My favorite Gregory Isaacs song. I am so lucky that I was able to see and hear him live this summer. Long live the Cool Ruler!

[sanjuandread]

Within recent years we've lost Joseph Hill, Yabby U, Sugar Minott, and now Gregory Isaacs. All of whom are true legends of this great artform called reggae. We must keep their music alive by passing it on to the youths who sadly will never live to see and experience artistes of this nature. Jah has truly blessed all who able to live in the era when, Dennis Brown, Joseph Hill and others of that calibre were in their prime. Rest in peace Gregory Isaacs, we give thanks for the music.

[mistermusic808]

@sanjuandread Don't forget about Lucky Dube

[TheGodLah7]

Peace & Blessing to the "Cool Ruler" Gregory Isaacs. Bless

[keazeight]

[americangangster86]

[JakyRedEyes]

[MUMMY0100]

One of my best songs :-) love it and u r the best Gregory Isaacs.

Thanx Juweeltjes 4 the upload :)

[alverrt0]

Yo si te la lustro isaacs :D

[hitomusic]

Totally incredible. This reggae is the pinnacle of reggae - it is at it's golden height of fabulousness. This particular song, along with "Substitute" and "Confirm Reservation" and a pair of others from THAT album are the greatest recordings of all time. Note the great musicians who are the backing band. To good to believe. Check out the horn just bumping along in the background. The quiet spaces in the riddim are as important as the notes being sounded. The groove is beyond belief.

[THCmuzicalmasta]

@hitomusic

irie man , a pinnacle of reggae , yes sir the cool ruler a rock di box !

[ijahmanlevi]

@hitomusic Your comment is worth the music, dude :)
