	The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is a 1972 concept album by David Bowie, praised as the definitive album of the 1970s by Melody Maker magazine.
		Ziggy Stardust is the definitive rock star, sexually promiscuous, wild in drug intake and with a message, ultimately, of peace and love; but he is destroyed by his own excesses of drugs and sex, and torn apart by the fans he inspired.
		Story: Ziggy and the Spiders rock it out; they may or may not be capable of hanging on to themselves and their sanity in the face of an insane, rock 'n' roll world of freedom and liberation.

	LyricsVault: Hall of fame: Ziggy Marley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		As the eldest son of international reggae stars Bob and Rita Marley, Ziggy Marley was a natural choice to fill the vacuum left by his father's death in 1981.
		This, combined with Ziggy's preternatural resemblance, both physically and vocally, to his father, caused him to be dubbed, derisively, "Marley lite." Low sales, and the fact that EMI wanted to market Ziggy as a solo act, moved the band to Virgin Records.
		Ziggy has continued the Marley tradition of political activism, becoming a Goodwill Youth Ambassador for the United Nations and winning an NAACP Image Award.

	VH1.com : Ziggy Marley : Biography
		Born David Marley in Kingston, Jamaica on October 17, 1968, he received guitar and drum lessons from his father, and began sitting in on Wailers recording sessions at the age of ten.
		In 1979, Ziggy, his sister Cedelia, brother Stephen and half-sister Sharon all joined Bob in the studio to record the single "Children Playing in the Streets"; christened the Melody Makers, the four siblings continued playing together at family events, and even performed at their father's state funeral.
		Marley was not even 17 when he and the Melody Makers issued their EMI debut LP, Play the Game Right; the burdens of becoming a second-generation star weighed heavily on the youth -- who looked and sounded almost eerily like his father -- and he allowed the record and its 1986 follow-up Hey World!

		On their new album, Fallen Is Babylon, the Melody Makers pick up the vintage Marley sound that they revisited on their last album, 1995's Free Like We Want 2 B. Though there may appear to be a conscious progression, Ziggy is quick to point out that they just do what comes naturally.
		As Bob Marley's children, the band will always be associated with their father's towering presence as both a musician and cultural icon.
		Ziggy and his siblings live in a different time from their father, and this reality is reflected in their work.

		Also, there are still some traces of pure reggae, and Ziggy Marley’s voice is so similar to his father’s that it seems to conjure up the ghost of Bob Marley from time to time.
		Ziggy Marley’s clear voice shines on “True To Myself,” a more reggae influenced track, and “I Get Out” shows Marley’s grittier musical taste with a percussive chorus that is slightly reminiscent of his father’s “Get Up Stand Up” anthem.
		Overall, Ziggy Marley’s Dragonfly is a lively and uplifting album with a number of diverse musical influences mixed in with the customary reggae music.

	Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers
		Blessed both by heredity and by singular talent, the Melody Makers have carried on their father's legacy by delivering stirring "roots" music and a dizzying array of other styles on the eight acclaimed albums they have released since the mid '80s.
		The Marleys -- Ziggy, brother Stephen, sisters Cedella and Sharon and a loving cast of other family members who are destined to step into the Marley spotlight -- have been performing songs and stories in one way or another since they were teenagers.
		Ziggy's social and political sensibility is neatly countered by brother Stephen's simpler approach.

	Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers
		Ranging from 1979 (when Ziggy was only 10!) through the mid-1980s, this material is -- as can be expected -- bubbly and youthful (see the too-sweet cover of Albert Hammond's "Give a Little Love," later covered to similarly cheesy effect by Aswad), yet there are undeniable sparks of talent and signs of promise.
		Bob Marley's kids step into the spotlight for their first major-label album (though they had been recording since 1982), and they display a talent worthy of the family name.
		A hit-or-miss effort that mostly whiffs, Fallen Is Babylon nevertheless won Ziggy Marley and The Melody Makers their third Grammy Award in 1998, further proving how ignorant the Grammys are when it comes to reggae (and most other genres).

		Although Ziggy (David) Marley will never replace his late father as the international icon of reggae music, the resemblance in their voices and the junior Marley's firm dedication to his heritage make it easy to hear more than a talented young man finding his way as a pop warrior in the conscious world.
		Whether it's the familiarity of the sound, the concentration of energy or the band's congenital fluency in their father's tongue, the album is a solid winner.
		Ziggy's picture alone is on the cover of Free Like We Want 2 B, but it's Stephen who's moving on up in the Melody Makers' universe.

		Living up to the legacy of the grand master of mainstream reggae music is never easy, but a few of Bob Marley's children have been at it since the late '80s, in the form of Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers.
		Composed of David "Ziggy" Marley, his brother Stephen Marley, and their sisters Cedella and Sharon, the group has turned out several albums of pleasant, if unremarkable, "roots-light" reggae.
		While the whole experience is a bit disconcerting at first listen, further exploration of Spirit of Music reveals Ziggy Marley to be a rather talented songwriter, more than able to stand aside from the crutch of a particular musical style and let his songs speaks for themselves.

	Off the Charts: Ziggy Marley
		Although Ziggy has yet to attain the sociocultural relevance of the elder Marley, he did briefly serve as the voice of Govinda Foods’ Hemp Bar — an eco-friendly energy bar composed of ingredients such as industrial hemp, carob, puffed amaranth and candied ginger.
		As a consequence of Ziggy’s endorsement, the company’s snack-related revenues more than tripled to $5.5 million, a percentage of which was donated to charity in Ziggy’s name.
		Ziggy’s religious convictions may prevent him from combing or cutting his hair, but they apparently do not prevent him from endorsing cosmetics companies that test their products on as many as 50,000 animals per year.

	Ziggy Marley : One Bright Day - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Ziggy Marley's One Bright Day, his follow-up to his breakthrough Conscious Party, is a solid, satisfying album, possessing an air of optimism and self-empowerment without sounding preachy or arrogant.
		Other highlights include the funky title track, where the Marley sisters' vocals truly take center stage, the Middle Eastern-influenced "Pains of Life," and the celebratory "Black My Story," which is a mini-cultural geography lesson in and of itself.
		As a matter of fact, there's not a single dud on this thoroughly engaging set, which helped to further cement Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers as first-rate artists in their own right.
