Greetings,
Woke up last Saturday to the news the world’s #1 sports hero (at least before Michael Jordan), Muihammad Ali passed to the next world.
He was a huge influence on Reggae. He was truly a Black Superman to many in the Third World, Africa and Jamaica.
I lead off with a Tribute to the Black Superman. And on the June 11 Ark-Ive we’ll hear a whole set of rarities
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee!
bless, robt
