Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers were a reggae group made up of four of Bob Marley’s children: Ziggy, Stephen, Sharon, and Cedella.
They formed the Melody Makers when they were teenagers in 1979, and recorded “Children Playing in the Streets” with their father. They went on to perform at their father’s funeral in 1981.
The band’s popularity was at its highest during 1988, prompting a major record deal with Virgin Records. Shortly thereafter, the group released “Conscious Party,” their third album. On the album was the hit single “Tomorrow People,” and the album went on to earn a well-deserved Grammy. |
