About 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, 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. 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. In 1982, he teamed up with Winston "Niney" Holness for the album Happy Ending, released on Dynamic Sounds, 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.
