The other night I caught Ziggy Marley (son of Bob Marley) on Late Night w/Jimmy Kimmel. I was a big fan of his music in the 80's and 90's and then lost track of him. He performed two songs. A new single which sadly, was not my cup of tea. But then he played one of his classics "Tomorrow People" and afterward I ran to my CD collection to find my "Conscious Party" CD by Ziggy Marley And The Melody Makers.
This got me thinking, how many children of accomplished musicians are out there who are actually talented?
I came up with a short list off the top of my head. Read on to check out the list and hopefully reserve some of the music that our library carries.
I came up with Ziggy Marley(Bob Marley), Jakob Dylan(Bob Dylan), Julian Lennon and Sean Lennon(John Lennon), Norah Jones(Ravi Shankar), Rufus Wainwright(Louden Wainwright), Nancy Sinatra(Frank Sinatra), Wendy and Carny Wilson(Brian Wilson), Chynna Phillips(Papa John Phillips and Michelle Phillips). Liza Minelli(Judy Garland).Alexa Ray Joel (Billy Joel). Sarah and Ben Taylor(James Taylor and Carly Simon). I'm counting Whitney Houston because Dionne Warwick is her aunt.
Below, I am adding links to our library catalog, for most of the mentioned artists above. Please feel free to reserve a few to compare the parent/child talent.
