Late music producer’s son suing over song ownership

The son of a late Jamaican music producer who worked with Bob Marley is suing his dad’s widow over ownership of songs the producer wrote, according to a Brooklyn federal lawsuit.

Clive Chin claims that he wrote more than 1,100 songs recorded by various Jamaican artists and that his dad Vincent’s Queens-based V.P. Music Group is licensing them without permission.

Chin is seeking $3 million from his stepmother, Patricia, and three music companies he claims knowingly tried to scam him.

Patricia claims the copyrights to the music were part of the “marital estate” left by her husband.
