Last summer, we got Busy Signal on the phone and asked him to name his Top 10 (non-reggae) Summer jams. No. 4 on that list (right between Luther Vandross and Phil Collins) was Kenny Rogers’ immortal pokerface anthem “The Gambler.” THIS summer Busy unveiled his own version of the tune, as the lead single on VP’s Reggae’s Gone Country compilation.
