Reggae legend Gregory Isaacs died of lung cancer this morning at his home in London at the age of 59. Isaacs pioneered the slinky, seductive reggae subgenre lovers rock, and he left behind a endless string of international hits that spanned the 1970s and 1980s. Though he never shied away from political material, he's better known for the love songs he delivered in a ridiculously smooth tenor, the kind of voice that brought to mind Marvin Gaye.
Below, check out some videos of the man at work.
