Gregory Isaacs last interview 2010

Recorded on a chilly nite in London the final known Interview with the cool ruler Gregory Isaacs. In attendance was his good friend Keith (Bob Andy) Anderson. As cool as every the Final interview.

[@clive6641]

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.

Thanks for making that revealing interview. Not only was it super to see Gregory, but also the occasional shot of Bob Andy. Gregory's great tune, "Love is Overdue" usedto play as the last tune on a Sunday night at a little club I usedto go to in Queens Park London in 1975.😊❤💚💛😀👫🏿🎛🎶

Great interview. Just wish it was longer. How nice it was of Gregory to invite the interviewer into his home. You can see some of Gregory's personal photos in some shots. 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.

[@sabathamarshall6235]

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.

[@anjee.3261]

So well said... I think you've captured my feelings exactly... I would even go as far as to say I feel somewhat cheated out of what was still to come from one of our beloved icons.... Even so Rest in Eternal Peace Mr Isaacs🙏🏿
