“Bluenote Bob” Perry. To this day one of his favorite memories is having Bob Marley and Skills Cole over to his house during a promotional run for the Uprising album, and playing records together until six in the morning.

He also recalls watching Bob Marley perform at The Diplomat Hotel in Miami Beach for a NARM convention in the early 1970’s where all the record people who weren’t cool freaked out when he blew through a pound of weed on stage there.

Bob Perry made a ton of history in the music business, and he started out in the late 60’s at Tone Distributors with Henry Stone in Hialeah.
