Papa's Music Palace

This show is dedicated to my friend and musical mentor...the legendary KING YELLOWMAN. Born Winston Foster, he endured many hardships while growing up as an albino even being orphaned as an infant. He became a superstar in the wake of the untimely death of Bob Marley. He helped to bring dancehall reggae to the world. Very charismatic and a great enetertainer, Yellow's musical output was staggering. Here is a 76 minute showcase of some of my favorite Yellowman tunes. Ladies and gentlemen I present the ORIGINAL KING OF THE DANCEHALL.....YELLOWMAN!!!

Gregory Isaacs has just gone forward. We tribute him by posting this great performance from Reggae Sunsplash. Rest In Peace Cool Ruler!

This is for the lovers of SOUL music. SOUL is an element that seems to be lacking in so much of today's music. Download and listen or just listen right here...ENJOY! -Papa Robbie
