David Isaacs
David Isaacs (aka Bruce Bennett) is a Jamaican reggae singer who worked with Lee "Scratch" Perry in the late 1960s and early 1970s,[1] and went on to release several albums between the mid-1970s and early 1980s.
Isaacs recorded a version of Stevie Wonder's "A Place In The Sun" in 1968 for producer Lee Perry, and this was one of the records that established Trojan Records as a major force in reggae.[2] The song was re-recorded for Isaacs' debut album, Place In The Sun, released in 1976.
In 1979, Isaacs recorded "Just Like The Sea", in combination with deejay Jah Thomas, and released a second album, More Love, produced by Witty Reid.[3] In 1982, he teamed up with Winston "Niney" Holness for the album Happy Ending, released on Dynamic Sounds,[4] which had been preceded by the Love & Devotion set.
Isaacs also had a spell as a member of The Itals, joining the group in 1997.[1][5]
