Yellowman
Shanachie's One in a Million is actually a reissue of the 1982 Greensleeves 10" Operation Eradication, which itself was a compilation of early Yellowman singles. Confusing history aside, it's a fantastic set and includes many songs that still play a part in Yellowman's shows. "Them a Mad Over Me" turned out to be his anthem and "Shorties" was such ...

Yellowman
It's pretty amazing how well Yellowman has weathered the years. His first hits came in the early '80s, and you can count on one hand the number of reggae artists who were superstars that long ago and who continue to maintain that status. Throw in Yellowman's triumphant struggle over a disfiguring cancer (not to mention the albino coloring that ...

King Yellow returns with another Junjo Lawes-produced winner, accompanied by the fat, dubby rhythms of the Roots Radics and the Hi-Times Band, and this time the DJ brings along his sparring partner, Fathead, along for the ride. Its a hits-heavy outing, made all the more pleasurable by the combination of big, booming beats and the DJ's delightful ...

Mister Yellowman

by
Yellowman
In the early 1980s, Yellowman pretty much ruled the dancehalls, only Josey Wales and Charlie Chaplin were a threat, at least until a small, furry rodent -- Eek A Mouse -- scurried onto the scene. And as different as these four DJs were, they did share one thing in common, studio time with producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes, the man behind some of their ...

Yellowman
Across much of the '80s, Yellowman was as popular as sliced bread and cheese. The first of the superstar DJs, King Yellow, as he was swiftly crowned, reigned supreme not just in the Jamaican dancehalls, but in the British and American reggae clubs as well. Skipping over his breakout hits for the Hookim brothers, 20 Super Hits may neglect the ...

Yellowman
Yellowman's jump to a major label might have had some reggae purists gasping, but the one album that resulted introduced many listeners to the rich world of dancehall music and its cadre of talented DJs. Before he cut this 1984 record for CBS, Yellowman had already hit the peak of his fame in Jamaica, waxing some stellar sides for the supreme ...

This Is Crucial Reggae

by
Yellowman
Crucial? Not all of it, but the Ras label doesn't own Yellowman's biggest hits, so the title's non-delivery on its promise is no big surprise. The reason why the collection is very desirable is that This Is Crucial Reggae rounds up the best of Yellowman's days on Ras and saves potential customers from having to buy the B- and C+ albums some of ...

Yellowman
Considering the deluge of records Yellowman released during the '80s, you'd expect a flood of compilations to have followed, bundling up all his dizzying hits. Of course, most of the DJ's albums during that decade did precisely that, but still there was much left over for the archivists. Unfortunately, relatively few compilations are available, ...

Yellowman has triumphed over so much adversity in his life and long career that you really hate to do anything other than praise him, even when his work isn't actually as good as it could be. As a child, he suffered both from poverty and the social stigma attached to his albino coloring (hence his stage name); after overcoming both and becoming ...

Although Yellowman's first records exploded on the international reggae scene with all the unexpected force of an IED, of course the DJ's reputation and huge following were already in place in the Jamaican sound systems. There, he often performed with fellow toaster Fathead, and inevitably the producers wanted to capture their magic together on ...

As its title indicates, this two-volume series is intended as an introduction to classic dancehall reggae (or as a guided nostalgia trip for those who remember the salad days of the 1980s and early '90s). This was the period when "cultural" (i.e., Rastafarian) themes and the loping one-drop beat were fading in popularity, while more aggressive ...
