Gregory Isaacs
Gregory Isaacs
Kingston, JMRock, Reggae
1.5bn all-time streams (6 Jun '26)
One of Jamaica's most beloved vocalists, Gregory Isaacs' career stretched from the heady days of reggae through lovers rock -- a genre he virtually invented -- and into the 21st century.
Born in the Fletcher's Land area of Kingston, Jamaica, on July 15, 1951, Isaacs arrived in the music business via the talent show circuit, a tried-and-true formula for many of the island's budding singing stars. Byron Lee was the first in the industry to spot his talent and brought him and Winston Sinclair into the studio to record the duet "Another Heartbreak" in 1968.
