nagpants 1 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 The bassist from Bob Marley's band the Wailers has taken his claim for a £60m share of the late reggae singer's estate to the High Court in London. Aston Barrett claims he is owed the royalties from a contract signed with Island Records in 1974, plus earnings from songs co-written with Marley. Universal-Island Records and the Marley family say Barrett gave up his right to further royalties in a 1994 settlement. The bassist was a member of the band from 1969 until Marley's death in 1981. Barrett - who has reportedly fathered 52 children - alleges that he was only paid a proportion of the amount owed to him after Marley's death. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 They don't call him "Family Man" Barrett for nothing! More of a Flabba Holt fan myself. Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Well I guess its relevant because he would need 60 million to keep up the paternity payments. Link to post Share on other sites
