Winston McAnuff naît en 1957 dans une famille de pasteurs à Christiana en Jamaïque. A l'initiative de parents mélomanes, c'est dans le gospel qu'il fera ses premier pas. Il n'a que 13 ans quand les futures icônes du reggae jamaïcain Hugh Mundell, Earl Sixteen et Wayne Wade auditionnent à ses côtés auprès d'influents producteurs de Kingston : respectivement Joe Gibbs, Derrick Harriott et Yabby You . Il est l'auteur du titre "Malcolm X" interprété par Earl Sixteen puis Dennis Brown. Sa carrière est véritablement lancée lorsque Derrick Harriott produira son premier album Pick Hits [...]

Issu d'une famille pauvre, le jeune Vivian Jackson se retrouve à 12 ans dans les rues de Kingston. Déjà à cet âge, Yabby You n'est pas un jeune comme les autres: il entend des voix et entretient un mysticisme poussé. Peu de temps [...]
Tragedy. I just found out that seminal reggae icon, musician, producer and all around dub specialist Vivian 'Yabby You' Jackson (see above pic) passed away this Tuesday. Digging through the Stotch archives comes up with a big fat zero of Yabby covers, and inversely I managed to find only a grand total of one song that he covered. So for what it's worth here's Yabby You covering Stranger in Love [...]
