[@kofiboateng1241]

RIP family man, I glad I had the opportunity to meet you.🙏🙏

[@thembadube9589]

This man could really play the bass guitar. We shall miss you, Mr Barrett.

[@GinoMIGUEL-l9w]

This guy is the heart of the wailers. Many non musicians wont understand how. But believe me, without his talent, there would be no bob marley and the wailers.

[@ElimanGibba]

A genius in his own right.

[@Avatartianna]

Was fortunate to meet the legend along with his brother and Queen Rita Marley in 1994 at Union Buildings ib South Africa. JAH BLESS!!

[@JosePeralta-sx7dh]

Yesss

[@Grogu-485]

His brother Carlton Barrett died in 1987 so it was not possible for you to meet him in 1994 😂

[@GiulioTogni]

When I met this legend, his bass guitar was lost by the airline and he picked up the first bass guitar he found and put out the most f….. amazing performance ever. Truly original & amazing!

[@dre4011]

I shook Aston's hand @ a Wailer's show back in August of '07 in Richmond...the band I roadied for opened for them. I said..."Aston...thank you, you are one of my main influences on bass" He said..."Seen brother"...with a smile and followed Al Anderson off the stage....

[@ShabaniSudi-d1x]

What a voice Family man, Aston Barrett, we miss you

[@ShabaniSudi-d1x]

The greatest bass guitarists at that time. He has created with heavy talented I ever seen in reggae music industry. All we should know that at the group of the wailers all musicians are very talented, that's why Bob chose careful musicians whose came and replace the golden chances of Burnny and Tosh after separated from the group!! Viva forever Bob Marley

[@kingstantv1025]

Legend

[@BoniOdinga-m5g]

Ageless!!This man, Isaac hayes looked more or less the way they were all along...never showed those serious signs of aging on their faces; quintessential forever Young. genius!

[@Ferruge2040]

Aston Family Man Barrett era e sempre será o meu baixista preferido! 🙏🙏😢😢

[@Rick_King]

Bob Marley was a tremendous song writer and performer, but Family Man was the musical genius behind the success of The Wailers.

[@chemabm1939]

Along with Carlton.

[@Rick_King]

@@chemabm1939 Carly was awesome, but Family Man arranged all the music for The Wailers. Carly was the master of the one-drop, but Family Man took The Wailers to new heights.

[@chemabm1939]

​@@Rick_King en mi cincuentena, volviendo a mi vida de nuevo Bob Marley & The Wailers, conforme más leo y escucho sobre The Wailers, tengo cada vez más claro que los hermanos (base rítmica) eran muy grandes. Tosh y Bunny tenían el ego por las nubes, a modo de ejemplo, no asistir al funeral de Marley (desconozco si Bob era igual que ellos).

[@drock1297]

Icon!

[@fallyakhoubaabdallah328]

Aston Barett un grand bassiste. Il ne vit plus. Triste. Il a été un grand musicien et compagnon de "Bob Marley and the wailers". Il est décédé il y a un peu plus de 4 mois.

[@MikhaelI-r1h]

Family man the Best Bass Player!!! Along with Carly Barrett they created a Divine Style of JAH music!!!! This interview was too short though!

[@MalaLove11]

[@PaulMartshellBass]

[@MarkWinzenried-k9u]

Why did 'Fam', (one of my best friends) die 4 days before the One Love (Bob Marley) movie was released? I'll tell you later

[@dylanromney6144]

??? IMAGINE. ROBBING THIS MAN OF HIS GOD GIVEN TALENT AND WORKS THAT. HE PUT IN OVER THE YEARS ! BY. A. WOMAN AND GREED ! SAD. WAILERS SAD ! SAD ?? R I P. ASHTON. & CARLTON ?😎😎😎

[@Runnaway-dt3du]

I was shocked when I found out that this guy had the nickname ´´family man´´ because he had 53 children with some women, which I suggest was courageous or something close to irresponsible, I hope he was able to support them all, great bass player.

[@Mohkhad-68]

He played one drop

[@MrCwal27]

Is it me or that the whole is just saying I have to get him to hurry up instead of soaking in the moment with this legend I’m not judging that’s what it appears like

[@gregorychanyukachimonyo5973]

One drop

[@cassiusmakawa]

Bass guitarman

[@Venomoussounds780]

ITS TRU FAMILYMAN CAN PULL STRINGS BUT HE WAS NEVER A MEMBER OF THE WAILER I REPEAT THERE'S NO HISTORY OF THE BARRETT BROTHERS WAS A MEMBER OF THE WAILER THEY WERE BACK UP PLAYERS OF THE BAND... NOT MEMBERS OF THE WAILER

[@sionem.fatongiatau8666]

Shut the hell up. Why is it called, Bob Marley and the Wailers?

[@Deja_Vu_Classic_Rock]

What on earth?

[@adammanuel3256]

Wake up
