Yellowman

He was deserted by his parents, scorned at stage shows, chased away by producers, banned from the airwaves, and developed skin cancer. A doctor even told him he would live only three years more. That was in 1983.

Not many could overcome all these odds to become one of dancehall’s greatest icons, but Yellowman did. With an unmistakable style, he fused his pain and longings with his talent, which seemed a perfect recipe to produce hits.
