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.

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"???

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.

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.

That's why i have a problem when things aren't expressly made clear legally just to avoid situations like this.

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 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.

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.

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.

The love of money is the root of all evil. They go to sleep at night they eat they drink,smiling In front of cameras Like everything's okay unbelievable.

RIP FAMILY MAN, majestic drum and bass combo from the brothers alongside Marley!

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!

May brothers rest in peace, they were truly the heart beat of the wailers

RIP Familyman. So glad I got to see that fantastic man live a couple years ago Well done mini-doc. Thank you

Greatest Reggae Bassist of all time, in my opinion, short-changed? His tantalizing bass lines lives forever, regardless. RIP!

Bob Marley is rolling over in his grave for how his band members are being treated.

RIP Aston "Familyman" Barrett. Your bass playing changed the world.

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.

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. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

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

This is ridiculous. Those albums probably generated a hundred million dollars. 264,000 pounds is spare change in the big picture. They did him dirty.

This is a damn shame... 😢😢😢

The grievance in music is sadly so deep when the loaf is so big and the man wants his slice off the loaf.

She did him dirty

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

Marley family shameful behavior

RIP Aston Familyman B !!! 😢

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"???

Most of the wailers were left out from the royalties

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!!

Agree this man should get everything he is owed Marley did not make this happen on his own.

The treatment of the Aston "Family" Man and Carlton Barrett is extremely unjust!!!

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.

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.

R.I.P Familyman just heard the news 03/02/24 let’s hope u got your dues rasta.

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.

How does Rita and Chris sleep at nights, doesn't their conscience bother them. Chris Blackwell is the happiest out of the whole lot, I understand Rita's not getting as much because of the absence of a Will. End up sad innit, such a brilliant and successful catalogue but the main players - the band members who if it wasn't for them and their chemistry the brand wouldn't have been such a success. No one can deny that; but they are treated like dogs, funny it is and they are the primary source of the success and they ended being treated as dirt.

The Marley Family should be looking out for the less fortunate band Members from the Wailers. Period!

SAME ON YOU Rita marley THOSE GUYS made your life much easier with they BRILLIANT BASS SOUNDS
