KING YELLOWMAN: Classic Hits Changed The Reggae Scene In The 80's

Jamaican reggae star, King Yellowman



In the early eighties, the reggae world took another dimension when a Jamaican artist by the name  King Yellowman stormed the reggae scene with classic recordings that gave him international stardom.

Yellowman was born Winston Foster on 15 January 1956 in Kingston, Jamaica. As a dancehall deejay, Yellowman used his talent to compose great songs, establishing his identity as a true reggae icon in Jamaica. 

He was born an albino and raised in an orphanage home in Kingston, yet he overcame these obstacles and went on to become one of Jamaica's biggest reggae stars.

After winning a talent contest at Tastee Patties in Kingston, Yellow went on to excite reggae crowds all over Jamaica and the rest of the world with his boastful and sometimes sexy lyrics. 

His ability to ride the rhythm and excite reggae lovers made him an instant hit in Jamaica. He recorded Jamaica Nice, Strong me strong, Mi believe/ Summer Holiday, and a host of others.

In his career, Yellowman recorded many classic hits. In 1986, he was diagnosed with jaw cancer. He was given only six months to live. After surgery, he was off from the music scene for a long time. Yellowman began his comeback with the song "Blueberry Hill". 

Yellowman has always been very professional to work with and has always been a respectful and reliable human being. He has managed to outlive his predicted fate of death, and his performances are incredibly lively as he seems to have an unlimited amount of stage energy. 

AMY WINEHOUSE'S HOUSE ROBBED? HER SPIRIT WILL HAUNT THEM

Amy Winehouse

Britain is a country where crime can never be eradicated or even reduced. Because crime is like a subject taught at school. Criminals don't even have shame or remorse. They can kill an old person and rob him or her of a pound coin. 

It is a big shame that just days after Amy Winehouse was found dead, intruders stole personal items from her Camden home. British criminals are now robbing both the living and the dead. 

Those who carried out such abominable acts are not thieves; they are Ghouls, legendary evil beings that rob graves and feed on corpses.

Amy’s personal letters, lyric books, and even unreleased tracks are among the items taken. 

The singer’s home was declared a crime scene after her death on 23rd July, and it’s estimated that up to 20 people, from the police to friends and family, have had access to the property since then.

It's a big shame people like that live in this society. They can enjoy things stolen from the dead, but they can't take  Amy Winehouse's fame. She worked very hard to get to that stage. 

Her spirit will continue to haunt those responsible until all her items are brought back to her family.

Reggae superstar Bob Marley, even though he is resting peacefully in his grave, his spirit still lives on. A classic track by him is being released today as part of a global celebrity campaign to raise funds for the victims of the famine in East Africa.

The Save the Children charity and the singer’s family hope that the new video for the 1973 track ‘High Tide Low Tide’ will tackle the humanitarian catastrophe that has left a reported 29,000 children dead and 10 million short of food.

The video, directed by award-winning Kevin McDonald and with music from the much-loved reggae star, is set to go viral with huge celebrity support, such as Jennifer Lopez¸, Lady Gaga, Queen, Madonna, and Beyonce, to name just a few.

From Tuesday, celebrities are set to post the video on their Facebook social profiles to raise awareness of the plight of East Africans to millions of people across the world.

The Marley family has asked in a letter to get as many people as possible to post the video on their Facebook profiles, too.

They said: “Not one child should be denied food nor water. Not one child should suffer from the conflict caused by grown men. Over three million women and children are suffering. They are innocent. They are not political. 

They are starving. Bob Marley, then and now, stands for Africa United, for one love, and for the protection of children worldwide.

“Please join us as we, along with Save the Children, stand up together as friends to put a stop to this needless waste of life, to feed our children, and to save their lives.

“This generous act will help us reach through your friends and ours over two hundred million people worldwide.” The proceeds of the new release will go to Save the Children.
