    I have watched interviews with a few reggae icons. The humility is breathtaking and they always end their interviews giving you the impression that they have no idea how much they influence other people. When Gregory Isaacs recorded “ soon forward” ......it took me almost one year to stop playing it 3-4 times a day. I am 62 years old and it still moves me. Bob Marley and Dennis Brown are the same.......their humility give you pause. RIP cool ruler, you did the work you were chosen to do.....I only wished you could have stayed a little longer.

    I do not have words to express what really goes through my emotions maybe "mixed" feelings. One is the joy of seeing and hearing Gregory talks with so much experience, the other is having lost him while I expected so much from him yet he achieved what he came to do on this earth. I still need to hear a lot from him, but yeah he had to rest. May his soul rest in peace and harmony while his spirit lingers in our minds impacting our lives.

This was no small thing for Gregory as it was well known he had a very contentious relationship with the media. He must have really liked and trusted this man to invite him into his home with a camera. Thanks for getting a parting message from Gregory to us.

    My part of Brixton South London listened to such a verbal & neural conversation yesterday as I watched this interview. I'm 58 now & been a true Gregory fan since 1979, age 14. I had years, almost 40 years of criticism as a caucasion female fan of Reggae, lovers & similar, especially G.I., even though I was a Gossips Soho raver many years.
    The hate against such sweet beautiful music was absurd of the mid '80s, yet more absurd of 21st Century, though I enjoyed albums & concerts of Gregory all through the decades.
    Yesterday, the absurd argument as to my happening to glance out of a window as I Sang along with a lyric as most fans would, evolved into a history lesson on minimising being hypocritical.
    I was human trafficked to Brixton South London, where the expectations of local white racists is a quiet acceptance of ethnic cleansing via dissemination of the kind of addictive substances that ironically hurt Gregory's voice & career in his latter life.
    Gregory's quote "only love can conquer war" was a favorite of his. Today I started the notes of a project on creating improvements socially to diminish domestic violence via improved supportive principles such as education & Victim Support Mechanisms. I cited Queen Camilla's TH-cam speech on this specific topic as I watched it yesterday and this interview of yours, quoting Gregory's wise words "only love can conquer war" as the inspiration of the project's working title "Love is".
    Between the summer of 1979 and yesterday, Gregory is still such an inspiring Artist in my life.
    Love, Theresa 🙋‍♀️☯️

    Daddy Ernie! Thanks for such an interesting interview. I'm so impressed to see the late Great Legendary Bob Andy. The first album l bought of the late Great Legendary Gregory Isaacs is Soon Forward. Reggae albums in Azania (South Africa 🇿🇦) began to be more available in late 80s. The album l listen and play the most is Night Nurse. I'll keep on listening to Gregory Isaac's music. lnterestingly so, most of his songs are sing a longs.
