- Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers were a Jamaican-American reggae family group whose line-up consisted of the children of musicians, Bob Marley and Rita Marley, which includes lead singer Ziggy Marley with Sharon Marley, Cedella Marley, and Stephen Marley. Formed in 1979 in Brooklyn, New York, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers members began their musical endeavours in their pre-teens under the name the Melody Makers.

- Jo-Ann Greene, AllMusic Guide - Originally formed at the request of their father Bob Marley, it was only after his death that the Melody Makers came into their own. Although the group remain indebted to their father's musical memory, the quartet has gone on to create a unique crossover sound, far removed from Marley's own. Their vision, however, is similar to their father's desire to bring people together through music, and the Melody Makers' pop-reggae sound has certainly done that. [more]
