"Night Nurse" is a song by Jamaican reggae artist Gregory Isaacs, released as a single in 1982 after signing to Island Records. It is the title track of his 1982 album of the same name, which was a top 40 hit on the UK Albums Chart. At the time, "Night Nurse" was hugely popular in the clubs and received heavy radio play.[1] The song was later used in adverts for a GlaxoSmithKline cold and flu remedy of the same name on British TV and radio.[2] A cover version in 1997 by Sly and Robbie featuring Simply Red became a hit single in the UK.
BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Chris Goldfinger picked "Night Nurse" as one of his favourites in 1996, adding, "Gregory has a unique voice and singing style. I love the lyrics. Gregory is always my all-time favourite."[3]
