As did Frank Sinatra, Jr. Wish I could remember the name.
Julio Inglesias and his son Enrico.
Ravi Shankar --> Norah Jones
Adam Cohen’s dad is none other than that cheerful cove, Laughin’ Lennie Cohen.

Darn, both of my “maybe they’ll be obscure enough” connections have already been taken, but one needs to be further elaborated upon.
Not only are Rufus and Martha Wainwright the children of Loudon Wainwright III, but their mother is folk musician Kate McGarrigle.
(And Rufus cohort Teddy Thompson’s father has already been mentioned, but check out their duet on Richard’s “Persuasion.” What I’d give to be able to write a song like that)
Oh, and I always assumed Neneh Cherry was a stage name, meant to amplify her sex symbol image. (According to Wikipedia, Don and Eagle Eye are her stepfather and half-brother, respectively. A whole new category in our game)
Somehow I missed Krokodil beating me to that one. Drats.
Mother/stepson. David’s mom was named Evelyn something.
Shaun Cassidy, however, is Shirley and Jack’s son (and David half-brother).
Nitpick: Enrique. I had to do it just because you stole mine.
The Big Bopper’s son, J.P. Richardson, Jr., is a musician. He performs at the annual Winter Dance Party revival in Iowa most years. Nelson has been there a time or two as well. I have a co-worker who goes every year.
Hey, you took my favorite!
Hoku is Don Ho’s daughter.
Bijou Phillips is John Phillips daughter…and a better singer than actress, yeesh!
Another connection from the dark recesses of my brain:
James Taylor (and Carly Simon) -> Sally Taylor, Ben Taylor
You know, I was just realized this morning I’d screwed up his name.
Why on earth I was thinking of Enrique Inglesias first thing in the morning is something I’d rather not delve into.
He can be your hero, baby.
He can take away your pain.
And he would stand by you forever.
You can take his breath away.
Don’t forget Ewan MacColl (sometimes McColl), who had 5 children, three with Peggy Seeger, who are all singers and musicians. The most famous was Kirsty MacColl.
Whitney Houston is the neice of Cissy Something or Other.
Whitney Houston is the daughter of gospel singer Cissy Houston and the niece of soul singer Aretha Franklin.
Eh, I can think of worse people to think of first thing in the morning. Could have been David Crosby. :eek:
Annie Xmas, are you thinking of Dionne Warwick? Unless I’m mistaken, I don’t think Whitney and Aretha are related.
No, she’s not related to Aretha Franklin. Dionne Warwick is her cousin. Cissy is indeed her mom.
I’ve heard Cissy refer to “Auntie Re.” I guess it’s just her name for Aretha.
Dianne Warwick is, indeed, her cousin.
