Vivian Jackson (born 14 August 1946, Kingston, Jamaica [LINK: http://musique.fluctuat.net/yabby-you/spiritual-dub-t36290.html] [1]), 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. History One of seven children, Jackson left home at the 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 comtemporaries, which often prompted debate on religio-philosophical matters,
