Jamaican reggae star, King Yellowman.
Winston Foster, better known on stage as King Yellowman, was
born on January 15, 1956, in Kingston, Jamaica. He was abandoned as a newborn,
most likely due to his albinism. Prejudice against Albinos persists in the
Caribbean and Africa.
Yellowman said in an interview in one of his videos that a
garbage collector had discovered him in a shopping mall. One of my favorite
reggae performers since the early 1980s in Nigeria, I was overcome with emotion
when I heard this depressing comment from such a wonderful artist whose music
transformed the reggae scene.
