dear Gregory Isaacs...RIP

I came to the Gregory Isaacs' party late. This September I was transcribing a radio interview with Keith Richards and was intrigued by this part, which led to going on a Gregory Isaacs discovery jag - the song below is one of my very favorites.

INTERVIEWER: Gregory Isaac's voice is Jamaican national treasure, you've said. Why's that?

KEITH: He's got a voice like velvet, effortless delivery, but the amazing thing is he came up in handcuffs - beautiful guy...

And then, in vintage Keith Richards' fashion, Keith couldn't resist adding to the above in the interview: "He still owes me 400 bucks." Keith's such an odd duck. He makes these jokes...I can relate...doesn't mean to be a jerk. Just sees an opportunity for a quip and makes it, despite whether it's tasteful or will come back to haunt him. Like the whole "tiny todger" comment about Mick Jagger.
RIP Gregory Isaacs.
