(1944 – 2010)

Vivian “Yabby You” Jackson, born in 1944, was the founder of the legendary vocal group the Prophets. His trademark sound is perhaps best heard on the compilation Jesus Dread 1972-1977—which contains “Conquering Lion,” said to be the template from which many later reggae masterpieces would draw inspiration.

Sadly Yabby You passed on January 12, 2010. He will be greatly missed, but his music will still go on.

    someone help me out: why do we still credit remix records like "King Tubby's Prophesy of Dub" to Yabby You? i know that's how it was sold (Yabby was the producer of the 'source' material, after all), but by all modern standards of attribution, wouldn't we consider this a King Tubby record?
