Aston Francis Barrett CD (born 22 November 1946), often called “Family Man” or “Fams” for short, is a retired Jamaican musician and Rastafarian.

His strutting bass line on the 1969 instrumental track “The Liquidator,” by the Harry J. All Stars would end up serving as a direct template for the Staples Singers’ smash “I’ll Take You There” three years later.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Aston “Family Man” Barrett was one of the Barrett brothers (the other being the younger brother on drums Carlton “Carly” Barrett) who played with Bob Marley & The Wailers, The Hippy Boys and Lee Perry‘s The Upsetters. He was the bandleader of Marley’s backing band, as well as co-producer of the albums, and the man in charge of the overall song arrangements.
