The Wikipedia entry says Smalltalk was one of it's influences and Joe Armstrong, co-developer of Erlang, mentions message passing as the fundamental aspect of OOP that Erlang gets right.

The Wikipedia "Influenced by Lisp, PLEX,[2] Prolog, Smalltalk" seems to be un-sourced !

Here's something Joe Armstrong's PhD thesis does reference in the context of message passing:

"4.5 Programming Notations Based on Message Passing" p33

"Concepts and Notations for Concurrent Programming", Gregory R. Andrews and Fred B. Scheider, Computing Surveys 15(1) March 1983, pp 3 - 43
