Marlin Hotel in South Beach Back on the Market: $22M It Last Sold for $9.5M in 2015, Pre­Expansion June 17, 2016 12:46PM by Katherine Kallergis 6/21/2016 Marlin Hotel | Collins Avenue | Miami Beach Art Deco Hotels Marlin Hotel in South Beach back on the market: $22M It last sold for $9.5M in 2015, pre­expansion June 17, 2016 12:46PM By Katherine Kallergis « PREVIOUS NEXT » Marlin Hotel (Credit: Nick Garcia, Blind Light Studio) The Marlin Hotel, a historic Art Deco property in South Beach, is back on the market about a year after it sold to a Miami Beach developer. An affiliate of MRK Investments, led by Michael and Richard Krieger, paid $9.5 million for the then 14­room hotel at 1200 Collins Avenue in April 2015. Following a multimillion­dollar renovation and expansion, it’s now on the market for $21.9 million. The three­story, Art Deco hotel was built in 1939 and has roots in the music industry. It was the first hotel owned by Chris Blackwell, who founded Island Records — the label that signed Bob Marley. As South Beach Studios, it hosted Aerosmith, Jay Z and Pharrell Williams and other artists. Jason Zarco of EWM, a Christie’s affiliate, is listing the property, which was designed by Miami Beach architect L. Murray Dixon. The previous owner renovated the property, as well as MRK, improving the guest rooms and suites, the lobby, restaurant and common areas, and adding 19 rooms and suites. The 33 rooms range from 240 to 500 square feet. MRK also opened a new restaurant concept, Bazí. The developer/investor scored an $8.4 million loan in November for the renovation and expansion. It will reopen on July 1, Zarco told The Real Deal. Listing agent Jason Zarco Zarco said the turnkey boutique hotel is perfect for someone who wants to expand their portfolio and enter the South Beach market. “There’s really not a product like this out there right now,” he said. A portfolio of retail buildings on Collins and Washington avenues recently hit the market unpriced. The buildings, which include the Art Deco Victoria’s Secret store, are being marketing together and separately.

The pair began working together as a team in 1975 and they quickly became Jamaica’s leading, and most distinctive, rhythm section. They have played on numerous releases, including recordings by U- Roy, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Culture and Black Uhuru, while Dunbar also made several solo albums, all of which featured Shakespeare. They have constantly sought to push back the boundaries surrounding the music with their consistently inventive work. Dunbar, nicknamed ‘Sly’ in honour of his fondness for Sly And The Family Stone, was an established figure in Skin Flesh And Bones when he met Shakespeare. Dunbar drummed his first session for Lee Perry as one of the Upsetters; the resulting ‘Night Doctor’ was a big hit both in Jamaica and the UK. He next moved to Skin Flesh And Bones, whose variations on the reggae-meets-disco/soul sound brought them a great deal of session work and a residency at Kingston’s Tit For Tat club. Sly was still searching for more, however, and he moved on to another session group in the mid-70s, the Revolutionaries. This move changed the course of reggae music through the group’s work at Joseph ‘Joe Joe’ Hookim’s Channel One Studio and their pioneering rockers sound.

Kwaku’s work is a testament to Brent’s contribution to the evolution of British black music and the commercial infrastructure to support it. His research contained separate sections on labels, shops, artists, radio stations and sound systems. In this version we have amalgamated these into a single ‘encyclopedia’ and added entries that cover the period between 2007-2020.

At age ten, Chris left Jamaica to be edu­ cated in England, feat he was already too free-spirited to slide into the British class system. left Harrow in 1955 and returned to Jamaica, where he worked at odd jobs while falling more and more deeply in love with music. In 1959 he started Island Records, Which at first mostly supplied Ja­ maican records, including early efforts by the fledgling Wailers, to Britain. Always curious and still a very young man, Blackwell also took a job as a second assistant to the director of the first James Bond movie, Dr. No, filmed in Jamaica.

  • A Later Version of This Essay Appeared As 'Chris Blackwell and 'My Boy
    (A later version of this essay appeared as ‘Chris Blackwell and ‘My Boy Lollipop’: Ska, Race and British Popular Music’ in Journal of Popular Music Studies, vol 22, no 4, 2010, pp. 436-465.) Chris Blackwell and “My Boy Lollipop”: Ska, Race and British Popular Music Ska evolved in Jamaica around 1960. I shall talk a little more about its development later. In 1964 there were three hits in the British top ten that utilized a ska beat. On March 14 Millie reached number 2 with “My Boy Lollipop.” A week later, the Migil 5’s ska version of “Mockin’ Bird Hill” reached number 10, its highest position. In December, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames got to number 1 with the jazz track, “Yeh Yeh,” to which they gave a soft ska influence. Discussions of ska, and reggae, have tended to focus on the music’s Jamaican origins and have emphasized its qualities as black music. In this article my interest is in the relationship between ska and British popular music of the early 1960s. How did ska enter white Britons’ musical consciousness such that, by the late 1960s there were numerous ska hits and, by the late 1970s, there was a ska revival with groups such as Madness and the Two Tone groups including the Specials and Selector having chart hits? To this end I shall concentrate on the most popular of the three 1964 ska hits, Millie’s “My Boy Lollipop.” This song was first recorded as a rhythm and blues song in New York by Barbie Gaye about whom little is known other than that she was not black.
