Short story:

Haile Selassie is crowned Emperor of Ethiopia, Africa. In due course, Selassie will become revered in the Rastafari movement as the returned messiah of the Bible, and numerous songs will be inspired by him, including Selassie Is The Chapel by Bob Marley and Haile Selassie by Bright Eyes. One specific incident in Selassie's life is documented in the 1937 record Selassie Is Held By The Police recorded for Decca Records by The Caresser with Gerald Clark And His Caribbean Serenaders.
