Seen here on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. Artwork designed by Neville Garrick. One of the earliest large-scale outdoor promotions for Marley in the United States marked the moment reggae broke into the American mainstream.

Here's a shot from Saturday at a YouTube party for Fela Kuti to celebrate his Grammy Lifetime Achievement award. I am with his archivist, daughter, and in the center, Femi Kuti. I was able to donate 56 years of Fela clippings and memorabilia to the Kuti Museum in Lagos. In the Verse party facility, they created a room filled with artifacts from my record and magazine collections, including about a dozen autographed album covers.

More to come.
