Yes, he was discriminated and beaten up because of his color. But he kept hussling and instead of getting bitter he became a superstar. A lot of people acting like a victim should learn from it. Much respect to Yellowman.

Living well is the best revenge.

Still touring today, he comes to California at least once a year. He has a big following and he is a blast live. Busta Rhymes said he was a major influence on him.

The only King Of Dancehall💯

1982 Reggae Sunsplash performance was iconic, i was in the 7th grade...never again we'll see such a performance

KING Yellowman, JAMAICA'S (original) Dancehall KING! & still is!!!

Wow what great man He is a Hero He is a great legend A determined person who chose to look forward and move forward 🎊 🎊 🎊 🎊

I just watched this again. Yellowman is a legend man

Saw Yellowman at the iconic Ogden Theater in Denver,mid 90's.Less than 100 people attended the show.That didn't stop or discourage Yellowman.He put on an absolutely energetic & passionate performance that blew me away.Big respect to a charismatic, gifted singer, dancer & performer.

Been listening to Yellow man since I first came familiar with the tunes back in the early 80s

Lost my love on the Queen's s Highway! I heard about Yellowman from my Dad. I found a Yellowman cassette in his Caddy. Turns out he was a big fan. Yellowman is in our family now forever.

I’ve seen Yellow a few times in concert. His energy seems limitless. A truly amazing man. King Yellow 💛💛💛

Thanks for this. I really enjoyed listening to this. God bless yellow man.

He had a tough life but choose music which save him ,he sang slackness but he caught the world attention ❤️💯🔥👊

The Vibration and Riddim has healing properties and his vocals make The Holy Gift. Meditation,Connection and Happiness has kept the King Yellowman “Keep On Moving “

You can always grow in terms of your mentality and spirituality as a man if you are open to doing so.

Respect the original king of dance hall

Man! First time I heard Yellowman's music was in the early 80's in Brooklyn, NY! I've been a HUGE fan ever since. He's one of The Greats! Cool Runnings, Brothers & Sisters!

first heard his song "nobody move" from a video game back in 2018, and i've been hooked ever since

I discovered yellowman for the first time in Africa like 1 year ago and since then he became my favourite artist! Truly blessed 🙏🏾

I went to one of his Concert backin Nairobi Kenya as a Teenager was a nice Show +44

Yellowman, was a tune creater and a style performer, always smile when I hear Yellowman tunes played, mostly these days it is me playing them and singing alone, gotta smile Yellowman style :)

A Yellow light of Brilliance....thank you💛👏🏾🇯🇲👍🏾🌴 .

Yellow man is the very best the Rolls Royce of dancehall

I was able to talk to the Yellowman for a little while at Roots bamboo in Negril. He seemed to like me he told me if anybody messes with you in Jamaica you get ahold of me and we'll take care of it thank you and respect Yellowman

Truly the king! Privileged to witness & wowed by his mesmerising performance at TBS Lagos, Nigeria in mid '80s. The concert also featured Kotch, Judy Mowatt, many other reggae acts, Sunny Ade, and Fela. Yellowman and Fela were the concert headline acts. Ranks as the greatest ever concert I watched live to date.

This guy was a gem of reggae.Thanks for the video

Love, Honor and Respect to Yellow Man the original Dancehall King. He never gave up and became the biggest legendary icon who took Dancehall to the next level. He his such a positive influence all over the world.

A true story of inspiration and perseverance overcoming all obstacles. Thank you for providing all of these great short documentaries on all of our favorite reggae artists.

Thanks for this well made mini-doc. I learned much.

He's very resilient and a fighter ❤

Love Yellowman. Particularly with the Roots Radics. He was peerless from 1981-85. In the 90s, there was Shabba, Buju, Beenie, Bounty Killer, Ninja Man, and later, Sizzla. But Yellowman did not have any real competition during his peak. He was head and shoulders above the rest. I saw him at the 1986 Reggae Sunsplash and many times since.

You really rolled out the yellow black and green carpet very well put together reggae strong 🤜🏽🎶🤛🏽

King of kings King Yellowman Thank you for your feelings brother. I needed you. Live forever and ever.

This guy's is a hero. I knew about him from a song that appears in a video game and a few videos more lead me here, to his story. Blessings to him. World will always need people like him

Peace to the chief with the Akan royal stool. If you'd please thank King Yellowman for mentioning the children in Africa in "This Old Man", I'd be deeply appreciative. As a Ghanaian girl with some Nigerian ancestry, it felt magical to hear us spoken to from elsewhere. I was misquoting him by singing, "Yellowman, he played four. Remember that Yellowman never did poor". LOL. I'll consider it affirmations & prayers for him. Wishing him and his long healthy, joyful and fulfilling lives. May he know how much he's cherished worldwide.

Give Thanks for his life, success, survival, resilience & triumph. I hope he knows how much he's loved. I wish fans in the U.S., U.K., Canada had known & could've raised money for him while ill. I just realized that as a little girl in Nigeria, I was misquoting his 1st song I heard. I sang, "Yellowman, he played 4. Remember that Yellowman never did poor". LOL.

Been with me since I was a little youth.
