fred sonic smith and patti smith have a son. and i just found out that he is superfox just like his popsoh my god. anyway, he plays on tour with his moms who is but kinda cool that the family is tight & performing together.can you guys think of any offspring who are on on the same artistic path as their folks were and keeping the fire alive like a family heirloom thing? i read the led zeppelin reunion thread and i must say that having bonham's son play drums make it sound a lot less cringeworthy and more like an honorable tribute to his dad's memory.and i still can't believe that neneh cherry is don cherry's daughter.

    Maya Rudolph = 2nd generation Rotary Connection. She seems tight with that Weezer guy, though.

    This guy is good. Better than his dad maybe. Not as good as his mom and aunt maybe. I think he has a sister that sings too.

    Anita Carter
    Roseanne Cash
    Carlene Carter

    Efrin Zimbalist Jr was good in the FBI. Old old heads no the deal.

    Isn't Commons dad somebody. Avante jazz blues.

    ?uestLove pointed out that the drummer in Rufus was Claire Fischers son. He's a big Ficher fan.

    Robert Lockwood, though not flesh and blood.

    Lucky Peterson

    SUGGIE OTIS!

    When Julian Lennon put his first (and last?) record out everyone said how he sounded just like his dad. Idiot Beatle fans thought he was the second coming. Pathetic.

    We had this discussion a while ago. If you want to get technical, Neneh Cherry is not Don Cherry's biological daughter. She is the daughter of Ahmadu Jarr, a percussionist from Sierra Leone who lived in Sweden (he plays on a lot of swedish jazz stuff). The swedish singer Titiyo is her sister. Eagle-Eye is the biological son of Don Cherry. But apparently Don raised them all from birth so Neneh took his name.

    His dad was pro basketball player in the old ABA (Denver?).

    Did anyone mention Eazy E's son? He's a spitting image of his pop.

    Maybe he had potential, but one[/b] mediocre record + all those post mortem releases. I just don't get it.

    India Arie's father was an old ABA player. I forget the deal on Common's dad (maybe a jazz background, i dunno) but I'm pretty sure he wasn't a pro b-ball player

    Actually, Lonnie Lynn did play in the ABA, for several years - he was drafted by St. Louis, and also played for Denver and Pittsburgh according to the internets.

    Near where I went to sixform college (16-18 pre university college) there were quite a few retired rockers.



    The son of one of these dudes was a good friend, who's band I saw perform several times. But they were never particularly successful.

    true. maybe i shouldn't have used 'offspring' but she was raised by him

    Common... Nas... What's the difference.

    Hey some of you all are listing people who just suck and are only working because they mommy or daddy was famous. Try to list more Suggie Otises and fewer Liza Minnellis.

    Williamsburg has a gang of legendary folk's offspring - they roam around in a big pack bumming Parliament Lights

    Most of them are cool. A few of them are even very talented, eg Bobby McFerrin's son.
