Gregory Isaacs for Heroes Park vs his Criminal record

Gregory Isaacs




Word out is that Grogery Isaacs family wants the singer to be buried in the National Heroes Park. This they say is due to the immense contribution by the late singer to the Jamaican Culture and Country itself. Heroes park is a dedicated area in Kingston, reserved for the burial of national heroes, Prime Ministers and cultural icons such as Louis Bennett, Ranny Williams and Dennis Brown who were all buried there.
The government has indicated that they have not received any application for Isaacs to be buried at the park.
Though the late Gregory Isaacs was a great Reggae singer he didn't have a spec free life style. According to wickipedia Isaacs served a six month prison sentence for firearm possession in the early 1980's and was said to be involved in drug dealings. The singer was said to have been arrested at least 27 times- now that's a bad MF. Rumour has it that his criminal record and additional unconfirmed speculation that the singer had two wives were put forward as reason for the singer not having an advantage to be allowed in the park. Some are saying if Dennis Brown is there he should be there.
