The BBC has reported that reggae singer Gregory Isaacs has died in London at age 59. Read an appreciation of the artist by Tim Sendra and watch several music videos at AllMusic.com.+ + + +
Update: The New York Times has a very informative obituary for Isaacs, which may be read here.
Also, Wax Poetics' September/October 2010 all-reggae issue also happens to have an interview with Gregory Isaacs that is definitely worth finding and picking up (and the issue includes features on Augustus Pablo, Sugar Minott, Beres Hammond, Bob Andy, Chris Blackwell, and more).

I have that issue of Wax Poetics and it's fantastic. You can find them in most Barnes & Nobles surprisingly enough.
That's where I picked up my copy.
