Gregory Isaacs' 62nd birthday was marked with a colourful party at Studio 38 in St Andrew, Sunday night. Coinciding with its first anniversary, the Gregory Isaacs Foundation put on a memorable tribute to the 'Cool Ruler' free of cost to the public, dubbed 'Hats off to Gregory'.

The high point of the evening was veteran singer Stranjah Cole, who created a musical 'bangarang' with his ska renditions. Cole rocked the Trafalgar Road venue with When I Call Your Name and Ruff and Tough, earning the show's only encore.

Tarrus Riley also excited the crowd, as did Luciano and Cocoa Tea who alternated with some of their biggest hit songs. As expected, Gregory Isaacs sound-a-likes also made their mark. 'Dress-a-like Junior Sinclair's entire stint was focused on the lovers' rock legend who died in October 2010.
