I'm listening in Dec 2022 at 70 years old. Still looking for some killer 12" 45's I may have missed. I've seen him in concert as well as Bob Marley two times and most major Reggae acts that passed through Philly in the Roots years. That's how old I am but still addicted to Roots Rock Reggae which I consider to be the progression of the great progressive rock of the 60's. IMHO.

Gregory Isaacs is Jamaica’s greatest Poet ever. The proof is in the writing and rendition and then he adds wicked music wid wicked bass line. Hooked. Only Beres lyrics ones anywhere name close. Manners and respect Mr Gregory. Pull Up again

A rich man's heaven is a poor man's hell So many years I've been slaving in your factory Never had a chance to talk with the boss And for so long I've been living in this old community Where no one knew my pain yet I've paid the cost No one knew my pain lord yet I've paid the cost But I would rather to live poor and clean Than to live rich in corruption I said that I've I've got to live clean Cause Jah has got to pass down judgement Said I wanna be clean Can't you see what I mean? Wanna be strong All day long I would rather to live poor and clean Than to live rich in corruption I wanna be clean Can't you see what I mean? A rich man's heaven is a poor man's hell
