Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Q: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. "Tomorrow People" is a Ziggy Marley song. Its reggae. He's Bob Marley's son for Jah's sake, its got nothing to do with the comic strip.
A: You know that and I know that and the producers of VH1's "100 Greatest 1 Hit Second Generation Cross-Over Reggae Wonders" know that, but its a common misconception.
Q: Really?
A: Yup, seems there is a bit of an urban legend out there about the song.
Q: Ohhh, do tell!
A: Well, it seems as if alot of people believe that there never was a Ziggy Marley. Instead, they say that ABC hired a group of Bahamian studio musicians to record the song 1988. ABC was planning a live-action mini-series base on the comic strip, the legend goes, and released the song under the fictitious name "Ziggy Marley" with some random immigrant Jamaican man they found in Brooklyn starring in the video to begin promoting the show. Unfortunately, the show never even went into production, as Wilfred Brimley had to drop out of the starring role due to a scheduling conflict with the filming of Cocoon: The Return.
Q: Wow.
A: Yup.
