Comment moved from Daddy G of Massive Attack article talk page[edit]

ADDED 12/19/2008 BY DOUG JACQUES:

I have some serious reservations about the correctness of the statement "In 1961, the Dovells charted a song called The Bristol Stomp which refers to Bristol, PA and includes the line "We pony and twisted and we rocked with Daddy G"." in relation to this person's date of birth in 1959. I can attest that the cited line is included in the specified song, but why would The Dovells be talking about ponying and twisting and rocking with a 2-year-old infant in Bristol Stomp? Also, a friend of mine went to a Daddy G performance at the Fox Theater in Atlanta, GA about two years ago, and informs me that "Daddy G" was about 70 years old (in 2006) and is a renowned saxophone player, not a "trip-hop" singer. MY CONCLUSION: there are multiple performers adopting the name "Daddy G" and someone should remove the Bristol Stomp reference from the stub describing the one born in 1959, as it is patently absurd. The Daddy G to which the song Bristol Stomp refers is, in fact, Gene Barge, tenor saxophonist of the band The Church Street Five, as indicated here: [1].

ADDED by Doug Jacques 12/20/2008 I have researched the "Daddy G" situation and edited the main article to reflect the fact that there are TWO musicians using that pseudonym. The original Daddy G, and clearly the one referred to in The Bristol Stomp, is Gene Barge. I have inserted 3 external links into the main article, leading to authoritative articles on Gene Barge and The Church Street Five, one of the bands he was in, because I do not know how to set up the "discography" (musical credits table) that someone has set up for the Johnny-come-lately (Marshall) who appropriated Gene Barge's 'Daddy G' pseudonym. Please, if any knowledgeable editors see this, feel free to "convert" the info at my external links into a proper Wiki musical credits table. Thanks. 72.154.218.229 (talk) 15:18, 20 December 2008 (UTC)Doug Jacques[reply]

Unreferenced tag[edit]

I created this article to separate out material mistakenly dded to the article on the Daddy G of Massive Attack. I have no information on this artiste, so I will leave it to others to source. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:18, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

have added two references to save the artcile from BLP deletion. There is much more to be gleaned from the all music source.Jezhotwells (talk) 22:54, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
