Marley Family earns two Grammy Awards

The Marley clan earned two awards at the Grammy last night. Stephen Marley grabbed his second Grammy for best Reggae Album for Mind Control- Acoustic. His brother, Ziggy Marley earned his fifth Grammy of his career with the children's musical album category for Family Time.

The Marley family has earned the coveted Grammy awards seven times since the inception of the award in 1986. In 2008, no Marley was nominated. This year’s nominations were Gregory Isaacs, Sean Paul, Buju Banton, Stephen Marley and Julian Marley. Buju’s nomination came under fire from Gay Rights activist and there were serious lobbying behind the scenes to exclude Buju Banton from the winner’s podium.
