I’ve been mixing up Lonnie Smith and Lonnie Liston Smith for years. There even has been atime I thought they were the same person.

Things like this even happen to pros from the (journalistic) trade.
Author Tad Richards says this in book "Jazz With A Beat":
Ruth Brown "recorded 'I'll Get Along' with a band led by Budd Johnson, who had done wll with his sister Ella Johnson ..."
Not so. Tenor saxophonist Budd Johnson did back up Ruth Brown at sessions but Ella Johnson was the sister of pianist and bandleader BuddY Johnson. Two unrelated persons.
Obvious? On the face of it yes, but ... 😕

Budd Johnson and Buddy Johnson gets me a lot. In fact I find it very easy to confuse Budd Johnson with a host of other musicians.
