[edit] Birthday Question

The article says:

• born April 19, 1949 or February 1955

I don't think we should have both dates on the article. My first thought was that if we don't know, we shouldn't include either. On second thought, if, as the article states, Big Youth started performing in 1970, with his own first album in 1971, he would only have been 15 years old had he been born in 1955. The 1949 date seems far more plausible.

I am going to remove the Feb 1955 date from the article. If anyone objects, it is open for discussion. --AStanhope 18:56, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

maju (talk) 16:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC) I added a ref to the Feb 1955 date. It's there but not in the main text -everybody should be happy.
