Biografia do Artista para Yabby You

Vivian Jackson B. 1946 Kingston JA Better Known As Yabby You Or Sometimes Yabby U Is A Reggae Vocalist And Producer Who Came To Prominence In The Early 1970s Through His Work With King Tubby And Lee 'Scratch' Perry. ---- One Of Seven Children Vivian Jackson Left Home At The Tender Age Of Twelve To Find Work At A Furnace In Waterhouse. At Seventeen The Effects Of Malnutrition Had Left Him Hospitalized And On His Release He Was Left With Severe Arthritis Which Had Partially Crippled His Legs. His Physical Condition Meant That He Was Unable To Return To His Previous Work And He Was Forced Into Hustling A Living On The Streets Of Kingston.
His Christian Beliefs Were Markedly Different From That Of His Rastafarian Comtempories Which Often Prompted Debate On Religio-Philosophical Matters And It Was After One Of These Discussions That Jackson First Headed Towards A Recording Studio Having Heard Music "like A Strange Ting Inside A My Thoughts - Like An Angel A Sing". Another Spell In Hospital Meant That Finding Money For Recording Was Difficult But Eventually The "Conquering Lion" Single Was Released Late In 1972 Credited To Vivian Jackson And The Ralph Brothers. Cut For King Tubby The Popularity Of The Song And Its Distinctive Introduction The Chant Of "Be-You Yabby-Yabby-You" Earned Jackson The Nickname "Yabby You" Which Has Remained With Him During His Entire Career.
The Next Few Months Saw The Recording Of Several More Singles Released Under Different Names On Various Labels Though Usually Credited To Vivian Jackson And The Prophets And Often Featuring A King Tubby 'version' On The B-Side Culminating In The Release Of The Conquering Lion Album. A King Tubby-Mixed Dub Set King Tubby's Prophesy Of Dub Was Also Issued Albeit On A Limited Run Of 500 Copies Helping To Establish Jackson As A Roots Artist Of The Finest Order. Yabby's Success Allowed Him To Branch Out As A Producer And He Began Working With Both Upcoming And More Established Artists Including Wayne Wade Tommy McCook Michael Prophet Big Youth Trinity Dillinger And Tappa Zukie While Continuing To Release His Own Material. Jackson Continued To Record Produce And Perform Often With The Aid Of Crutches Until The Mid 1980s. He Re-Emerged In The Early 1990s Issuing Both New And Old Material And His Recordings Have Been The Subject Of Several High Quality Reissues In Recent Years.
