Bob Marley “Blowing Weed All Over The Diplomat Hotel,” Says Bob Perry

“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.
