Relatives in reggae

[Ranking BC]

Phillip Fraser + Ras Fraser Jr. = father and son

[tingjunkie]

Someone said that Dennis Brown was Maxi Priest uncle....

True?

Don't think so. Jacob Miller was Maxi's uncle though.

Lee Perry also has a son who is a singer, Omar Perry I believe?

Leslie Kong and I Kong must be related somehow, no?

...and before someone says it, I have to beat them to the punch: We're all brothers and sisters & we are all Jah's children! Serious ting!

On the Silver Camel 12 inch 45 of 'Run Around Woman' by Triston Palmer there's a DJ cut at the end of side A that is shared by Ranking Toyan and Jah Thomas. Somewhere in there one fo the DJs, and I think it is Toyan, sings:

"Me and Thomas we are bredder, same mother different father"

So does this mean:

Jah Thomas + Toyan = Half Brothers?

[Dadi Digi]

Never heard that before Leggo but I guess if he says it it must be true.

Orville Smith is Garnett Silk's uncle
Calman Scott is Scottie's brother

Roman and Tinga Stewart (Brothers)

To my knowledge, Roman Stewart's A.K.A is "Tinga" Stewart, so they're in fact the same person.

Please someone correct me If I'm wrong.

Albert Griffths + Anthony Griffths + Al Griffths = Fathers & Sons

Gallimore Sutherland + Vernon Sutherland = Brothers

All members of the Gladiators band.

[gunosantos]

Ruffy & Tuffy = Twins
Lacksley Castell & Trevor Castell = Brothers
Kenneth Hoo Kim & Joseph Hoo Kim = Brothers
Dennis Brown & Mr. (Teddy) Brown = ? (heard they were cousins)

About Leslie Kong, I think I heard somewhere he was I (Errol) Kong's uncle, but I'm not sure.

There's plenty of other bloodline connections between reggae artists and musicians.

With a little research, I'm sure many other names will appear. And many others doubts too...

I have the "Stewart Brothers" LP called "Break down the Barriers" and there is a song called "we are brothers" and it has both of them singing different verus.

tinga and roman stewart are not the same person. they are in fact 2 brothers. i had an album of roman stewart years back and the face on the album was not tinga stewart at all. tinga shares more of the chinese features characteristics of his family than his brother roman.
