The Birth of a Legacy
In 1975, Joseph and Shirley Bechor pursued the American dream. From a small electronic store on 7th Avenue, it turned into a haven for music lovers. At the time when record stores started to disappear, Rock and Soul became an oasis for DJs in search of vinyl treasures. With an astute eye on opportunity, the Bechors nurtured the store into a throbbing music hub, supplying everything from turntables to mixers, thus laying the bedrock of a lasting legacy.Keeping with the Beat
Through the decades, as changes swept through the music business, Rock and Soul would remain steadfast in their focus on quality and authenticity. It has survived under Sharone Bechor during the resurgence of vinyl during the digital age. It maintains a delicate balance between the old and new, through which Rock and Soul not only has survived but indeed has served and still serves a loyal clientele, their diversified needs steadily. Thus, such adaptability cements its legacy as one that is very pioneering in the community of music.Community at Its Heart
In its very essence, Rock and Soul is defined by a commitment to community. Much more than a retail store, it's a cultural hub where audiences come together in common bond to revel in music, its doors open for electric events, nurturance of new artists, or just simply welcoming anyone seeking refuge in soulful beats. The warmth with which it embraces creates an attachment far beyond the commercial element attached to it.From the Roots to Evolution: Rock and Soul
What was once conceptualized to be an electronics store, Rock and Soul soon veered direction to take advantage of the demand by vinyl-seeking DJs. When record stores across the country began closing their windows and doors, local DJs scrambled to find decent sources of music. Filling in the niche, Rock and Soul established itself as a mecca for the most in-demand vinyl choices. Eventfully, the inventory grew to contain just about everything a DJ could want or need as its clientele tastes changed. This store also played an integral part in supporting famous artists, among them RZA from Wu-Tang Clan, in their formative years. Icons like Funkmaster Flex, DJ Premier, Questlove, and Q-Tip have found some of their inspiration within the walls, further concretizing Rock and Soul's place in musical lore.Sustaining the Challenge of Digital Times
Rock and Soul has passed through the tests of challenges in this digital era without losing its essence.
