Hi! I am a researcher at Binghamton University and I completed an oral history of Robert Ford III's mother, Gail McLean for a project about early hip hop and women's record collections. When I saw came to this page looking up information about Rocky, I was surprised to see Robert Ford III listed as one of the children from Rocky Ford's marriage to Linda Medley, he is not. The obituary articles are very clear to say he is survived by his son Robert Ford III, but not that he is a child of Linda's, as is Raque, his daughter with Linda. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/05/arts/music/robert-ford-jr-dead.htmlProfJsto (talk) 01:56, 20 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
