R.I.P.: Music Man Murray Gershenz
Murray Gershenz, the record collector turned character actor, has died. The 91-year-old died Wednesday August 28, 2013.
Better known as “Music Man Murray,” Gershenz spent nearly three-quarters of a century collecting the more than 300,000 records that filled the dusty wooden shelves of his two-story record shop.
From opera classics to big band, country western, jazz, R&B and rock and original Edison cylinder recordings, Gershenz always lived up to his business credo, “You name it, we find it.”
The massive collection, and Gershenz’s years-long plight to sell it, was the subject of a documentary film, “Music Man Murray” (trailer above) which premiered last year. MORE HERE
