Manley Augustus Buchanan (born 19 April 1949, Trenchtown, Kingston, Jamaica),[1] better known as Big Youth (sometimes called Jah Youth), is a Jamaican deejay, mostly known for his work during the 1970s.
He commented, "Deejays were closest to the people because there wasn't any kind of establishment control on the sound systems".[2]
