2009
"Orlando" Julius Aremu Olusanya Ekemode was born in 1943 in the Osun state of Nigeria. He first learned of his musical talent studying and playing drums and flute in school, but found his true love in the sounds of the alto saxophone. As early as 19, he was involved professionally in music as both bandleader and as a "Top Ace" with Eddy Okunta's popular band in Lagos. In 1964, he released his first massive hit single with his newly-formed Modern Aces. His 1966 effort, Super Afro Soul, made him a national celebrity in Nigeria and even went so far as to influence music in the United States. The record's dramatic, highly melodic incorporation of soul, pop, and funk was very much ahead of its time, helping to shape the funk movement in the U.S. for years to come. After Super Afro Soul, Julius released a long list of records exclusively in Nigeria and from them received a great amount of local fame.

Welcome! I'm Mary aka Maryesterday, a gal who has lived as a vintage "time traveler" for over 20 years. The past? I'm there! In order to fuel my passion for all things vintage, forgotten, antique, mysterious, and mid-century modern, I've turned this into my full time business -- I support myself by sharing great finds and lost treasures I unearth in my real-life retro adventures. I'm here on eBay to share them with you.
I try to set the BIN price fairly for a fast sale. If you are truly interested in this item but have reservations about the price, please do not hesitate to make what you feel is a fair offer. All proceeds of this listing go to help an independent outsider artist working in the field of literature and creative writing.
Visit my store for collectibles, lost ephemera, cool clothing, vintage obscure and rare records and recordings (a great way to "time travel"!), and interesting retro reads. I have a lot of books, because there's no better way to time travel than in the pages of a good old book. Try it once, and you'll be hooked for life! I hope you enjoy the time you spend with me here -- and have a nice yesterday!
