Reggae Star Bob Marley Official First Day Cover Stamps From Jamaica 1981

Bob Marley is the “Reggae King.” He’s the Jamaican musician, singer & songwriter most responsible for reggae’s international success. A pioneer who’s earliest fame came with good friends Peter Tosh & Bunny Wailer as Bob Marley & The Wailers. “Simmer Down” was one of their ska classics. Bob drove a BMW not because he loved the car. It’s because he loved the letters BMW. They stood for Bob Marley & the Wailers. Bob resurrected an old time 60’s tune and turned it into a soft stoned love poem. “We’ll be together with a roof right over our head.” “We’ll share the shelter of my single bed.” This would be a popular theme as several Marley songs lead to his single bed. He’s fathered 11 children. Rumor is there’s many more. But no one’s done “The Math!” After solo careers for Bob and these Wailers, he achieved fortune, fame and an idolization that’s as powerful today as when he was gone in 1981. He’s sold 15 million albums in the U.S. and 25 million worldwide. He continues to outsell most reggae artists 30 years after his passing. Bob Marley’s estate earned $21 million last year Marley’s huge reggae influence […]

Vintage “Boy Meets Girl” 1938 Promotional Film Pinback with James Cagney, Marie Wilson and Pat O’Brien

“Boy Meets Girl,” is a 1938, Screwball comedy film, starring James Cagney, Marie Wilson and Pat O’Brien. James Cagney and Pat O’Brien give Hollywood an affectionate chuck under the chin (and a comic kick in the butt) in this film making spoof based on the same-titled 669-performance Broadway hit by Bella and Samuel Spewack (My Favorite Wife, Kiss Me, Kate) and zestfully directed by Lloyd Bacon (42nd Street). In roles based on colorful screenwriters Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, Cagney and O’Brien fling words around like hot potatoes as they invent boy-meets-girl story lines to please a fading cowboy star (Dick Foran) and a huffy producer (Ralph Bellamy). Their latest idea has a new wrinkle – revenge against the cowboy and the exec. And the madcap way they pull it off places Boy Meets Girl alongside such deft 1930’s jabs at Tinseltown as Once in a Lifetime and Bombshell. Joining the fun in the role of a beleaguered movie premiere emcee is Ronald Reagan. Cagney and O’Brien’s deception and scheming, get them fired and re-hired enough times, to turn out a successful script. Great energy and zany laughs, are this film’s trademarks. My Forever Treasures 1930’s film vault, offers this […]
