The music business: Even while John Lee Hooker was on contract and recording for Chess Records in March of 1954, he was also making cash on the side recording for Henry Stone’s DeLuxe label as John Lee Booker. Thus were born the 78rpm classics, “Real, Real Gone,” and “My Baby Don’t Love Me.” Check out the reviews of these cuts in Billboard, back then known as “The Amusement Industry’s Leading Newsweekly.”
From 1946 to 2014, Henry Stone ruled the Florida music industry with an iron fist, a brick of cash, and a warehouse full of vinyl. HSM is the last of over one hundred record labels he personally founded. This record label includes works from every decade in his sixty-five year career right up until today. Licensing available for film, samples, advertising, movies, video games, and more. Family owned and operated.
