Video Summary:
Gregory Isaacs - Rumours (Rumours Riddim)
Here's some information about Gregory Isaac from his Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Isaacs
"Gregory Isaacs (born Gregory Anthony Isaacs, 15 July 1951, Fletchers Land, Kingston, Jamaica)[ is a Jamaican reggae musician. Milo Miles, writing in the New York Times, described Isaacs as "the most exquisite vocalist in reggae...Isaacs recorded for many of Jamaica's top producers during the 1970s, including Winston "Niney" Holness, Gussie Clarke ("My Time"), Lloyd Campbell ("Slavemaster"), Glen Brown ("One One Cocoa Fill Basket"), Harry Mudie, Roy Cousins, Sidney Crooks, and Lee "Scratch" Perry ("Mr. Cop").[3] By the late 1970s, Isaacs was one of the biggest reggae performers in the world, regularly touring the US and the UK, and only challenged by Dennis Brown and Bob Marley...
In 2008, after some 40 years as a recording artist, Isaacs released a new studio album Brand New Me. The album received positive reviews from critics, such as this review from Reggae Vibes: "Gregory is back, and how! 'Brand New Me' is a very suitable album title for the cool ruler's new album. He is back in a different style, more or less like we were used to from this great 'lovers & roots' artist"
His nicknames include "Cool Ruler" and "Lonely Lover".

Gregory Isaacs-"Rumours (Rumours Riddim)"
Lyrics:
Rumours dem spreadin'
Claim, that a sensee me plantin'
But I-man a de Don ina de jugglin'
A pure rumours a gwaan, (rumours a gwaan)
Please mr. officer, leggo me hand
You don't know me and you don't understan'
You see me flashin' a criss rental
So you take that me a criminal
Rumours dem spreadin'...
I keep a dance jus' to nice up the place
Me buy nuff liquor and red up dem face
Mek man an' man have money to spend
And all de youth them know me a dem friend
Rumours dem spreadin'...
Don't matter what, dem nuff jewel mi wear
Caught me pants, it nuh have no tear
Shoes cost a few hundred a pair
An' me have money all through the year
Rumours dem spreadin'...
Rumours and rumours..
Whole lotta propaganda
Rumours a gwaan....
Can't stop it....

[Saying "tune" (or "choon"; "chune") is the Caribbean way of declaring your respect & admiration for a song. It's the equivalent of the African American saying "That's my jam."]
