Birth name edit
There seems to be conflicting evidence for Lowell Fillmore Dunbar (as in the main article) and Lowell Charles Dunbar (various websites etc). Has anyone got some substantial evidence either way ? Thank you,

Confusion between the individual and the collective edit
There seems to be a confusion in this article and the Sly and Robbie article. This article lists work Sly Dunbar has done with other musicians, but correct me if I'm wrong, all of these were with Robbie Shakespeare, together as Sly and Robbie. Yet there appear to be at least 2 albums that were released by Sly under his name alone: "Sly, Wicked and Slick", 1977, Taxi; and "Sly-Go-Ville", 1982, Taxi; that are not listed here. Unless someone beats me to it I am flagging that I will do a bit of tidying up this confusion in the 3 articles. Brunswicknic (talk) 07:19, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
