description: "Vincent Ford, known as \"Tata\" or \"Tartar\", was a Jamaican songwriter who received a writing credit for \"No Woman, No Cry\", performed by Bob Marley & the Wailers, as well as three other Bob Marley songs. However, a dispute arose as to whether the compositions had actually been written by Marley himself, and credited to Ford to allow Marley to avoid contractual obligations."
