He is one of Jamaica's greatest songwriters and well-loved singers and his
global fans and great admirers just can't get enough of his love ballads and
'cultural-roots' songs. But even while he was pleasing his worldwide fans
immensely, Gregory Anthony Isaacs ('The Cool Ruler' ) was displeasing
himself dangerously.
Isaacs' foray into the world of hard drugs was an acid test for him and he ended
up with a failing grade on this destructive indulgence. His drug addiction and all
its 'cruel consequences' were a sad and painful journey throughout his life and
that of many loved ones.
'The Cool Ruler' also received some near death experiences when he was badly
beaten by some members of the Jamaican Constabulary Force (JCF) on several
occasions. His widow June also suffered the same fate while she was in the
company of her late husband.
Being kidnapped by a Brazilian drug cartel was also the eye-opening experience
of Gregory Isaacs, his wife June and his entire musical entourage when they
went to this South American country to perform. And, serious allegations and
accusations of bigamy being banded about, when he was on the last leg of his
lifelong journey, definitely did not help any situation whatsoever on the part of
the Isaacs.
In spite of these serious setbacks, Isaacs' exceptional writing skill, unique
singing style, witty expressions and his resilience to weather any storm and
bounce back from virtually any difficulties; shattered these seemingly
impenetrable barriers and persistent obstacles, which effectively
"Synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
