ABOUT ABOUT

The Record Man is the incredible story of how a group of musical underdogs with raw talent and diverse backgrounds, led by the determination of one man, Henry Stone, exported the music of Miami to the world. From distributing records out of his '48 Packard to establishing TK Records as the largest independent label of the 1970's, Henry Stone had an ear for hits. His funky eight-track studio and chart topping family of artists including soul legend Betty Wright,  KC and the Sunshine Band and Memphian Anita Ward, led to the original Miami Sound and the birth of Disco. When his empire collapsed on a baseball field in Chicago in 1979, Henry didn’t miss a beat launching Miami Freestyle. The Record Man captures forgotten, groundbreaking musical history.
