Yellowman - 1 Minute Jamaican Music Biography
Published Jun 22, 2004
Yellowman was and is an oddity. At the height of his popularity
in the early 80s he was at least as big as Bob Marley in Jamaica.
Born Winston Foster, Yellowman came into this world back in 1959
in Kingston. An orphaned albino, Yellow's formative years included
time at the famous Alpha Boys School and the musical influences
of that experience provided him with a very real sense of style
and originality. Coupled with his wicked sense of humour he rode
rhythms like no other before him and as a result left all of
the competition in his wake. The first Jamaican DJ to be signed
to a major American label, King Yellow's place in the history
of Jamaican music was truly well earned.
