#2HitTuesdays In 1962, Wilbert Harrison released the self-penned R&B single "Let's Stick Together" again on Bobby Robinson’s Fury Records, but the single went nowhere. #WilbertHarrison #BobbyRobinson #OneHitWondered

Bobby Robinson

#2HitTuesdays Wilbert Harrison recorded “Kansas City” in NYC for Bobby Robinson’s Fury Records. Bobby opened Bobby’s Record Shop on 125th & 8th in 1946, one of the first Black-owned businesses on 125th Street… and a whole Black NY music ecosystem. #BobbyRobinson #OneHitWondered

From that store, Bobby & his brother Danny built a mini-empire of indie labels: Red Robin, Whirlin’ Disc, Fury, Fire, Everlast, Enjoy. Doo-wop, R&B, blues, soul, early rock & roll, they gave Harlem voices a way onto vinyl without going through the usual gatekeepers. #BobbyRobinson #OneHitWondered

Bobby Robinson opened Bobby’s Record Shop (later Bobby’s Happy House) on 125th & 8th in 1946, one of the first Black-owned businesses on 125th Street. It stayed open into the 2000s. #BobbyRobinson #BobbysRecordShop #OneHitWondered

Buster Brown was the Georgia-born blues/R&B singer & harmonica ace who brought some gritty, down-home blues to the slicker NYC R&B scene of the late 1950s… Brown linked up with Bobby Robinson, the great NYC indie record man behind Fire Records. #BusterBrown #BobbyRobinson #OneHitWondered
