Aston Francis Barrett, CD (22 November 1946 – 3 February 2024), often called “Family Man” or “Fams” for short, was a Jamaican musician and Rastafarian. He was best known as the bandleader of Bob Marley‘s backing band, as well as co-producer of the albums, and the man in charge of the overall song arrangements. In 2006 Barrett filed a lawsuit against Island Records, the Wailers’ label, seeking £60 million in unpaid royalties allegedly due him and his now deceased brother. The lawsuit was dismissed. The arguments by Island-Universal and the Marley family was that Barrett surrendered his rights to any further royalties in a 1994 settlement in exchange for several hundred thousand dollars. The judge agreed. As a result he faced about £2 million in legal costs for the trial, forcing him to sell two homes in Jamaica. Bass Player magazine has commented that “Perhaps no music evokes the notion of bass and bass tone like reggae and dub, and no two words are more synonymous with those plucking practices than Family Man.” Ali Campbell, frontman of UB40, credits Aston Barrett and his brother as the inventors of reggae as we know it, stating, “That all happened before reggae, which kind of happened in about ’69, you know, when reggae as we know it was invented by the Barrett brothers, I’d say.” Rock musician John Lennon expressed admiration for the unique bass sound originating from Jamaica, while discussing his plans for a comeback album in early 1980 while listening to the Bob Marley & The Wailers album Burnin’, stating, “You couldn’t get that sound in New York. No way!
