How Bob Marley's Half-brother Got Killed Due To Feud Over Marley’s Estate
th-cam.com/video/xB8WusBOYgo/w-d-xo.html
NONE of Bob’s band members should be struggling. That’s crazy, and Bob wouldn’t want that.
If Bob was alive they would have never made him that big and he would have been struggling like 98 % of the other musicians out here. They made him a brand and here they are making merchandise off the dead. #evil
Was it no Bob Marley who insisted none of the band members sign a contract because Rastafarians do not sign contract? That was the reason why Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer left the Wailers group because they refused to be part of the band without signing any contracts. Chris Blackwell loved things that way as Bob Marley ended up owning royalties to some songs he never wrote. Rita Marley was deeply involved also.
@@SovereignSoulTV he needs to get active. He's been quiet too long. Chronixx got the opportunity to be the new crown prince of reggae but he looks to have lost his hunger and that's worrying for fans like me. We still waiting for his second album 😭

Bless for them words, & so true.
Yeah
What a shame.

Rita Marley claims the Barrett brothers were sessions players how she say that and the Barrett brothers tour with Bob and the I threes until the time of Bob t death also the other members of the wailers band she must lost her mind. Aston Barrett was the band leader Bob confirmed that Fams and his brother Carlton is resting in peace ☮️ travel well my brothers this is very painful.
Rest in peace Aston Barrett much love from Kenya
The sound of the drums and the heavy bass in bobs music is what attracted to his music.
Me too. And the philosophy.
100%
Sound without proper message is noisy
@@dionmarecha1713 yea I agree, but in reggae, the most important instruments are the drums and the bass guitar. Instruments attracts people to listen a song.
Especially the live recordings and performances. Babylon by Bus is an album masterpiece
Rest in peace Aston. And thank you for the music
RIP DAD, please let him rest in peace. 🙏🏽🕊️💔
I only have my own Dad now, out of my parents, your late father reminds me of my own, in having a presence which meant that his love for you was without question. I hope that you carry that with you always, and the wisdom you absorbed from him without registering it at the time. I'm sure it will surface for you when it's needed. Peace.
This is why Peter Tosh is my wailer real heart ❤
He is the real revolutionary
Tosh, seh\sung *the hammer* for a reason!...
This feud has nothing to do with Bob, so your comment is out of context, what the wife and children do has nothing to do with Bob, so there should be no comparison with Peter unless you are comparing the both of them.
He was silence
@@zawadiyahb.7982 you dont know the Jamaican saying : What gone bad a morning cant go good a evening .... after what took place with the original Wailers group...you think there isnt a Karmic reaction...check the history and you see why this is happening now.
Aston created the backbone of Bob Marley and the Wailer’s sound. A true genius of reggae bass playing and arrangements. RIP you hero and legend 🙏❤️
Aston and Carlton revolutionized Reggae music with the syncopation bass guitar playing and the one drop drumbeat respectively. They will never be matched. They were pioneers. The Wailers wouldn't be who they were without these amazing brothers. Thank you for the music! I dearly keep the entire discography of the Wailers. Rest In Peace, Bro Aston " Family Man"
The music recording industry is a dirty business.
For what Aston contributed, he should be comfortable for his remaining time here on earth.
He shouldn't have so many kids !!
@@2msvalkyrie529that's none of your Buisness
@@evertonbrownsnr.5807lol, how is that none of that person business, when that could be a main factor why he probably don’t have any of his money today, especially if them children was gotten all over de place?
Why are people conflating separate issues the Central issue is not about him being broke today what about his entitlement to royalties so I do not see how the number of kids. He has has any relevance to the Central issue. Unfair and unjust ,….. just because we have the power to type whatever we want 😮to type. irrespective of relevance to the substantive issue. had he been 10:50 10:50 receiving the royalties that he believes he was entitled to then we would probably not be discussing the number of kids. He allegedly has I think we should show the man courtesy and respect and demonstrate some self restraint instead of shooting from the hip just because we feel like it
@@huggyb04 🙄 did he not sign a contract for a large sum of money and that’s what cause him to forfeit his royalty payment? An unrighteous world cares not whether we can read, write, or comprehend. Whatever verbal agreement he and Bob had is not gonna hold up in any court, when Bob was owned by Island Records.
Btw the different women and children all over de place, plus whatever other extra curricular activities he got into made him lose his money, like a typical entertainer life. One wrong is not bigger than the other. He gotta take some responsibility too.
R.I.P. Aston "Family Man" Barrett
The Architect of Reggae
😍😍😍
Evil and greedy. I hate what they did to the Barrett brothers.
PAY DEM!!!
Bob Marley is my hero and favourite artist, but without the Barrett Bros, we would not be acquainted to his one drop reggae sound that we love so much. If Bob were alive today, this would not happen. Appalling from the Marley family.
Bob never came up with the one drop !!!! Who told you that
@@shawnrichards1393 I never said he invented the one drop sound.
Reading is fundamental.
@@shawnrichards1393Reading is clearly your weakness.
Shameful behavior by the MARLEY family.
The Marleys are all about money. Bob Marley Vodka is coming to a store near you.
@antoniusdesir5585 Rita Marley, that is. Rita Marley murdered those wailers' musicians for their own money. At the end of the day, the Almighty God is real.
@@ahiareds5118I did find out that she and Chris Blackwell did shady stuff including forging Bob signature to exclude the wailers from royalties. That new Bob biopic to me is just another money grab. How many Marley movies and documentaries have we seen. I seriously don’t need to know Bob’s favorite food or baby mother. Maybe that’s mostly for their mostly white audience. All that being said I have to be honest and say Rita Marley is my favorite female vocalist of all time. Am a huge fan of her music.
@@antoniusdesir5585TBF this is the first ever Marley movie
Without a good reggae bassist, a band is nothing!
Bob Marley must be turning in his grave to see the way how Rita deal with his good friends.
Rita is a witch
It’s not true. She tried to support them but she can’t in to perpetuity. Also she needed to give money to Bunny and Tosh. Record executives are the ones who set up dishonest contracts
Bob should have made a will and not leave everyone to “ fight over it” as per Bob’s words. Money will show people up for who they are
Sir Aston Familyman Barrett, l am so sorry that you were treated in this way. You deserved so much more. God rest your peaceful soul, and my sincere condolences go out to your family, friends and all who had the privlidge to know you through your music. You will be greatly and sadly missed. Thank you so much for your contribution to reggae music. Dub it up in Zion Sir, bass supreme.
Family Man mistake was signing that settlement agreement in 1994, he lost the case with that alone.
Yeah. Once you settle there's no going back
True indeed
He was misguided and made a huge mistake, but if Blackwell and the Marley weren't so greedy, the issue would have not risen to start with, and all would have get the slice they deserved from the huge cake Bob left.
It's not as simple as that there MUST be more to it than that-it's most likely that "Family Man" was told that he would continue to receive future royalty income for the songs that he wrote for Bob. Remember he couldn't read or write and he was dealing with a crafty/dishonest owner of a record company. It was when Bob hired Don Taylor as his business manager that he was able to stop Chris Whitewell from claiming that he was the producer of the albums that the Wailers did with Island record. There are numerous reggae artists who have had bad experiences with Island record such as Jimmy Ciff, Max Romeo and others. Max Romeo once described his record deal with Island records as a "death certificate". And why would Lee 'Stratch' Perry record a song naming Blackwell as a vampire, “sucking the blood of the sufferers"???

The Barrett Brothers were there from the very beginning. This is so wrong. Family man in particular was the arranger of Bob's music and made some of Bob's best sounds. This is wrong on so many levels. I cannot believe the marley family did this to family man. R.I.P Carlton Barrett . Just wow!!!
you're believing lies, search AL Anderson interviews theres 3 or 4 40 minute interviews about this topic and Bob and the band he tells the true story of Aston who was very greedy and lazy who just wanted All of the bands money
Business is business
@@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4 I watched the Al Anderson interview and you are right. He told spilled al the beans. I must say I was shocked and I don't think he's telling lies. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
Aston Barrett and brother were not there from the very beginning and joined the Original Wailers after almost 10 years after its formation in 1970.
Wanted all of the bands money? Yeah nah.Don't believe it. They should be given enough to live comfortably. This is shameful.
@@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4
This is what happens when greedy lawyers get involved. The Barrett brothers are also the 'Hippy Boys', the 'Reggae Boys' and the Mighty 'Upsetters' with Lee Scratch Perry who not only spearheaded the new Reggae Sound of Drum and bass but laid the foundation for much of Reggae music's top hits from 1968 to 1981. The Marley estate should be able to share more of the wealth with them.
Yes the Barrett Brothers's contribution to Reggae music is very undisputed, They not only were part of the wailers band, they were session musicians from 60's, the inhouse names you've mentioned. The pop world which include's Hip hop many artists were paid handsomely living in luxuries. But Reggae foundation musicians and artists have been ripped off by everyone from some of the Producer's right up to Lawyers and big corporate companies. though the music never stops playing and being embraced in every corner of the planet, the musicians that worked hard through many many years to produce the finest of all music still fighting on and going to their graves without being fairly paid whats theirs for their mass contribution. WHAT AN EVIL CRUEL AND GREEDY WORLD WE LIVE IN
Am shocked to hear this...they could have sat down to talk about it....
Lee Scracth Perry went to England and sold alot of records done with the Wailers as per Bunny Wailer.
@@pineapple-wi5mg yes and Scratch was sued for alot of that throughout the 90's and early 2000's. So again why has there not been the same justice for those seeking compensation from the Marleys???
One of the greatest rhythm sections of all times, unique and irreplaceable. It should be clear to anyone with big ears just how important those two brothers were not only to music but the whole genre of reggae. Shame on the Marley family trust and the record label, their greed knows no limits.
Marley's ,pay the man them their money
Where are they gonna get the money from? The check gotta come from Island Records and Island Records gotta get the check from Universal Music Group. Entertainers don’t have enough money to pay other entertainers.
It is shocking and disgusting that the Marley Family has done this. The Barrett brothers and their family deserve what they are owed.
Greed. Greed. Greed. Greed. Bob Marley obviously came from the dirt and didn’t make it by himself. Yet it appears his family are greedy and feel they are above the people that contributed to making Bob a success from which they are benefiting. They treat their own people worst than the other people treat their people. The man is now destitute from fighting to prove his case. I wish him well. Bob would not rob his brethren.
He passed away.
Dont blame his family he was begged to sign a will up to a day before his death. The lawyer herself interveiw said without one it will go to your wife and children and in his Bob voice he said “dat a’right”
Why didn’t Bob Marley ensure the contracts with the record companies were more solid. He and Don Taylor. The problem is with the original contracts. Even Bob signed bogus contracts
Agree. Bob would not like his collaborators to be treated like this. I have a theory that Rita, although she loved Bob, felt she had been treated unfairly by him. He was rumoured to have smacked her, had numerous affairs which he blatantly flaunted in front of her. She worked hard alongside of him touring the world. She took a bullet for him. Maybe she now feels that she deserves everything that she can get from Bobs estate
😅@@m.d.walker
Even if they were session musicians they entitle to there contribution which means royalty
Some gain the world with the risk of losing their souls. Ones and ones must remember this.
RIP Aston "Familyman" Barrett. Your bass playing changed the world.
Rita is no good.
She has disrespected and dismissed Beverley Kelso (an original singer in tje Wailers) as "just a backup singer". This is why she is suffering right now with her health. She is no good!

What 6 songs did the Barret Brothers write ?
Your father & uncle were geniuses! It’s very unfortunate that greed caused misfortunes
Sorry for that but I think that if Bob Marley was here he could have given them the money regardless.
I think that Ziggy and the other family can settle privately something to the remaining family members of the Barrrets.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Much love to you. Stay strong. ♥
Carlton Barrett is the Wailers sound. Without Carlton Barrett drumming, you don't hear the Wailers sound. Any song Carlton play drums on you'll hear the Wailers sound.
You're right, but also give Carlton 'Santa' Davis is credits. He was the original drummer on Africa Unite, Coming In From The Cold, Zimbabwe, and Chant down Babylon.
Carlton AND Aston, the two together created that sound since they were working for Lee Perry, and then developed it to perfection with The Wailers.
@@reggaegistxtra_ng o i wasn't taking anything away from Santa, he's a great drummer one of the best but we're talking about the original Wailers sound.
If you listen to some of Israel Vibrations songs you'll hear that Wailers sound cause Carlton Barrett played drums on some of them.
No disrespet to the other drummers but Carlton B. drumming is very unique, compared to the other Reggae drummers and the tuning of his drums is totally different.
@@reggaegistxtra_ngdavis is a wicked, he drive away leave Petèr and friends to die, wicked boy that
True brother the truth .
This shouldn't even be a topic. The Barrett brothers were the heartbeat of Bob Marley and the Wailers.
RIP my hero .. I started bass listening to metal , but Family Man was a living legend for me and still was even today i blasted the Osaka 79' show before learning about the news that he passed yesterday ..
R.I.P Aston “FAMILY MAN” Barrett🔥
The Marley family has turned the spiritual and artistic legacy of Bob into an empire of greed. The apple fell very far from the tree, this time.
nope , look what this video is doing with these huge lies its going to be reported for misinformation
It's business. You grow by expanding which some call selling out
Also, Bob repented of his rastafarian connection and rededicated his faith in Jesus Christ again so he could be buried in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. The Marley family won't talk about that part either because it detracts from the rasta image Bob cultivated for most of his life and in the height if his fame.
Exactly 👍
@giq8747 he f'd up right there yeah, turn back rasta 🤷🏽♂️ if that's even the whole truth.... me lose offa de Marleys dem long time.....
The Marley family took advantage of the Barretts family for sure. This is sad and it’s against what Bob preached about all his life.
All this confusion and controversies wouldn’t have been in existence should 3 of them were alive today. I mean, Bob, Aston and Carl. May they all continue to rest in peace.
It’s heartbreaking though to hear that one of the world’s best Bass Guitarists could neither read nor write. I’ll be forever proud of him.
Any musician who has ever listened to BM & W knows the Barrett Brothers were absolutely essential to the sound & impact of that music, both in the studio and on every stage around the world. It’s also clear Fams contribution to those songs was foundational. Man should have lived out his days in comfort. I consider a disgrace that he did not.
I'm sorry but he had 2 million dollars and chose to spend it in court to get more money which is a very foolish decision, he should have kept the money.
@@KallusGarnetit’s not about the money. It’s about getting what he’s rightfully entitled to
Money changes everything, it even change Rasta people too
RIP Familyman. So glad I got to see that fantastic man live a couple years ago
Well done mini-doc. Thank you
The Barrett brothers were the heart and soul of the Wailers. This is shameful, plain and simple
Rita is on her way out, the Marley brothers should get together and right this wrong, seeing as how they owe everything to Bob Marley AND the Wailers!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Too late for that now. But i agree, in fact the JA government shouldve stepped in to assist him with his homes.
RIP FAMILY MAN, majestic drum and bass combo from the brothers alongside Marley!
Sad struggle-Shouldn’t have been this way for any of them!
I will be very disappointed if family man hasn't been given his royalties cause today i walk up to the news that he has passed away
It all started when the wailers splits. Peter and Bunny left. They knew this was coming. Very sad.
Apparently so, all three equally talented but everything was Bob
Bob would NEVER have allowed this to happen if he had lived. Rita was very wrong and greedy for this
Rita and her pickney dem will pay. Mark my words.
Bro. Robert, his musicians, and friends all accompanied each other. There is no such thing as Robert would not be famous if it wasn't for Bro. Carly. They were all very young at the time and all struggling entertainers. The community came together and advocated for Reggae music to get recognition and airplay. It took a long time until finally our voices were heard. Long live the true history of Reggae music.
Greatest Reggae Bassist of all time, in my opinion, short-changed? His tantalizing bass lines lives forever, regardless. RIP!
An insult of the greatest magnitude to the great Bob Marley and all that he stood for🙏🏾
Blackwell probably has big shot entertainment attorneys working to maintain Island Record's ownership interests in the Wailer's catalog.
I do NOT DOUBT that Carlie & Aston made MAJOR contributions to writing many of the Wailer's hit tunes. Their musical vibration & Family Man's bass lines are the bedrock foundation of many of those tunes.
May brothers rest in peace, they were truly the heart beat of the wailers
In all honesty if it wasn’t for Carlton and family man Barrett , Bob Marley wouldn’t have reached that far, the Barrett brothers are the greatest drum and bass reggae duo of all time, and I deem Carlton Barrett as thee greatest reggae drummer of all time bar none! But we all know Rita Marley is greedy and wicked, and I doubt Marcia Griffitts and Judy Mowatt got their just due either!
Too often we hear of so many of these great Jamaican musicians who have either struggled before death or who are still struggling because of unscrupulous greedy persons. It is heartbreaking
EEK-A-MOUSE has been saying these things and called crazy!
He mentioned Bob being a coke head too..wonder if that's true. Probably is.
Bunny wailer wrote an open letter,an on-line letter.
Rita was a very dark woman.
She got rid of both Tosh and Bob.
Google on-line and see if it's still thete
@@joycendungu-nb9ds At least give us something to go on..
@@ronkali5365 God is good all the time,His justice endures forever
@@ronkali5365 l hope l understand you...with regards to exactly what happened,that letter by bunny wailer gave alot of details. Bunny himself escaped narrowly.lt was all about money.
Bunny was really mistreated by Rita.
After this open on-line letter,Rita went down with a stroke.
This is all a painful experience,for all of us, Rita shocked everyone.
Google "Bunny Wailer letter to the Ghanian Authorities" where Bunny requests the Ghanian Gov't to arrest Rita.
Without any doubt, Aston and his late brother, Carlton, made massive contributions to the success of Bob Marley and the Wailers. To the law, he may have been settled, but to natural justice, it would appear that he has been shortchanged. And his inability to read and write seemed to have been exploited and only made matters worse for him.
Your thoughts are highly appreciated 🙏
Itwas so sad to hear these great icons of Bob Marley and The Wailers dismissed as merely session musicians the whole episode is distasteful, especially when you consider the fact that there is plenty to go around!!!! from what we know about the ethos of Bob Marley many of us do not think that this is what he would’ve wanted for his friends There is more than enough to go around. I think many would not agree that family man and his brother Carlton were mainly session musicians !!!! they were integral to the sound, personally, I think family man was stitched by his own attorneysto sign that earlier compromise agreement because lawyers have a way of manipulating your decision to what they really want which is not always necessarily what is best for the client but when they convince you that “that“ is the best you can get and then you’re confronted with horrendous cost. It makes it much easier for you to relent and just sign what they put in front of you Because you have to believe your lawyers, right I think hi’s lawyers at the time making him, sign a badthe compromise deal all those years ago and it came back to haunt himonce he had better clarity of thought and the process all in all it is a real shame. What happened, it was so not necessary There is so much money being generated by the estate that not one of his seeds shall sit ion the sidewalk and beg their bread I can only put pray, and hope that the man is made good before his time on earth ends. This is such a sad story..”greed”tarnishing the Marley brand
@@reggaegistxtra_ng Love your channel. Please read this book by Bob Marley's Manager, Don Taylor who is now deceased. It's based on facts about Rita M, etc:
DON TAYLOR
MARLEY AND ME
THE REAL STORY AS TOLD TO MIKE HENRY
Go listen to Al Anderson’s interview. He utterly despised Aston Barrett’s personality and totally disparaged him, but what he didn’t deny was Aston Barrett’s musical genius, and he gave Aston his just due for his contributions to Bob Marley’s music. And the distinctive bass line and a lot of the arrangement was all Aston Barrett. But I’ve also said that Bob and Aston drove one another to excellence. Would Bob Marley’s sound been as delicious and evergreen without Aston Barrett’s contributions? Probably not. But without Bob Marley, the world would probably never have heard of Aston Barrett. If Aston were the star and not Bob, then after Bob’s passing Aston would have simply found another singer and replicated the success he had with Bob. But this didn’t happen because Bob was indeed the music and the message. Bob had the vision. But Aston Barrett and Carlton Barrett never received their just due after Bob passed.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Real talk
I love this rationale.
In that interview, Al said to him that in the event he passes, he Al Anderson should not forget the Barret brothers. What he thought was that they will need his help because they are not educated. But I think what Marley meant was that they are the core of that powerful group. Without the two brothers, I don’t think the Wailers would have been this complete.

One love bob Marley Rastafarian Aston jah reggae music good video ras Dennis from Leeburke
Rita Marley was left with $45 million USD after Bob’s death.
She has turned that 45 million into Billions- literally.
60 million is not an unreasonable amount to pay Aston and the band . And in my humble opinion- they all deserve it. I know the Marley empire costs a lot to run and paying their stable of artists is expensive, but I think they should make it right. I believe bob would have wanted it that way.
The grievance in music is sadly so deep when the loaf is so big and the man wants his slice off the loaf.
The Marley family is disgraceful on this matter and are so money hungry over money that they did not make, Family Man more than deserves his share but Rita & Blackwell hoard the money for themselves so they can say they are rich, how disgraceful. The Marleys do nothing for TrenchTown, Reggae music, Bob's band members including Bunny and Peter. You can't bring money with you when you die, so do the right thing and help & share it with everyone who deserves it while you are alive, your soul will be blessed for eternity but maybe Rita & Chris want to be the richest people in the cemetary lol.
The Carlton brothers are the reason anyone listened to Bob in the first place. The drums and the bass sounds those two brothers produced is the cornerstone and foundation of the Wailers. That's why i have a problem when things aren't expressly made clear legally just to avoid situations like this. Family members will come in and make everyone who worked hard to make Bob succeed look like leeches. And for Aston to lose his brother the way he did, should also be grounds for consideration as well. All those years making that type of music for nothing and to be called mere session artists or backups. That ain't right at all.
Agree this man should get everything he is owed Marley did not make this happen on his own.
RIP Aston Familyman B !!! 😢
This is a damn shame... 😢😢😢
This should serve as a wake-up call to all the young talented and aspiring musicians... Don't follow the IGNORANCE of the loud mouths shouting RASTAFARI!!... Learn to READ and WRITE...

Greed won't set them free - In time they'll see.
Their contribution to the wailers sound has got to be worth more than the early settlement. These guys are worth many millions for what they did. sure, Bob Marley was the main man, who is the voice, the lyrics, the melodies, and the stage charisma, and he’s going to get most of the money. Fair enough but to know barrett lost his houses over a squabble about creative recognition makes me so sad. But if you go to Babylon for justice, that’s what happens.
Rita Marley was acting as Delilah killing out all Wailers musicians, financially. The foundation of the sound should be paid to the musicians. Watching all the way from Vanuatu

R.I.P Familyman just heard the news 03/02/24 let’s hope u got your dues rasta.
Most of the wailers were left out from the royalties
Bob was not materialist and I am sure what The Familyman is saying is true he always shared everything equally but his family on the other hand is so greedy ,this case was not even supposed to go to court they should have just given the whole band a piece of the piece Bob’s estate and earnings are just too much for one family to spend ,the ones who did not put in the work are ones enjoying all the wealth.
SAME ON YOU Rita marley THOSE GUYS made your life much easier with they BRILLIANT BASS SOUNDS
He even wrote some of the songs, but that's the ugliness of the music business. Music always beautiful; the music BUSINESS ugly. I learned plenty from my father including the songs that Family Man wrote for the Wailers. They never gave my dad his due and recognition either, as one of the originators of Reggae music, so this touches me greatly. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Who was your dad if you don't mind me asking out of interest?

The Marley family should be ashamed for the way they have disrespected Familyman and the legacy of Bob
Bob should’ve left a Will, he knew he was dying and should’ve had his affairs in order. SMH
Rasta believe in eternal life that’s why they never have a will
@@RH421939illogical because yes you’ll live forever but your body the things you owned will say.
Still that was foolish he never left a will sorry@@RH421939
Bob had a superstitious aversion to death (many have it) and refused to acknowledge it by preparing a Will.
How much different would things had turned out apart from his children and baby mothers being resentful about what he would have left for who?
Exactly!!
I really nuh love how dem deal wit de rasta dem up a Scotts Pass neither 😖 🔥
Rita IS NO GOOD!!.
Give them Hell Family man Barrett. You're responsible for those baseline
Rhythms in Bob's Albums.
The Marley clan is too damn selfish!!
You gotta remember Rita had to fight for her rights, too. My good friend Dougie OneLove, R.I.P, helped her get some musical rights.
It's not as simple as that there MUST be more to it than that-it's most likely that "Family Man" was told that he would continue to receive future royalty income for the songs that he wrote for Bob. Remember he couldn't read or write and he was dealing with a crafty/dishonest owner of a record company. It was when Bob hired Don Taylor as his business manager that he was able to stop Chris Whitewell from claiming that he was the producer of the albums that the Wailers did with Island record. There are numerous reggae artists who have had bad experiences with Island record such as Jimmy Ciff, Max Romeo and others. Max Romeo once described his record deal with Island records as a "death certificate". And why would Lee 'Stratch' Perry record a song naming Blackwell as a vampire, “sucking the blood of the sufferers"???
His signing that agreement in exchange of $260,000 US short changed his entire monetary reward! He was ill advised to sign that agreement as maybe he was threatened to be buried in legal fees in 1994. What a terrible end!
I just saw he passed away. No judgement but why blame the Marley family. With respect this man had 41 kids. He also signed his music rights over. Great musican an leader but facts are facts.
Thanks for your feedback, but at least he wasn't the first to have many kids as a Rastaman.
Man what a LEGEND how sad this Marley family mafia that has become golden and filthy rich thanks also to the legacy of all these great artists who participated with Bob and have been forgotten but these greedy people who never have enough!
I hope history pays them in glory for what all these thieves from the Marley family have stolen.
Marley family shameful behavior
Wow I forgot all about this..
Because I thought that Rita finally paid them..
Wow
This is just so sad. After so many years in Bob's band, this happens to a person who was more or less the back bone of the band.
This is why I keep saying that paper work, namely, a clear and distinct contract must agreed to so that there will not be any claims of impropriety on the parts of none of the parties involved.
Rita no help nobody out yah
