Reggae singer Gregory Isaacs, best known for his hit single Night Nurse, was given the nickname 'The Cool Ruler' due to his relaxed delivery and laid-back stage presence. This programme is a celebration of his music and a candid look at his personal life.
In his 40-year career he released hundreds of albums, and although he died of lung cancer in 2010, he battled for years with drug abuse. This had a major impact on his voice. But all who knew Gregory loved him and his music. Gregory had a big heart, he loved children, had a great sense of humour and was a man of the people.
The late great Radio 1 presenter John Peel was a big fan and artists like Maxi Priest, Jazzie B, Mick Hucknall, The Rolling Stones and UB40 were some of his biggest fans.
