"His kind of music is deplorable, a rancid smelling aphrodisiac...It fosters almost totally negative and destructive reactions in young people."Frank Sinatra, 1950's

"There have been many accolades uttered about Elvis' talent and performances through the years, all of which I agree with wholeheartedly. I shall miss him dearly as a friend. He was a warm, considerate and generous man." Frank Sinatra, 1977

"He was the original cool." Brian Setzer

“Before Elvis, there was nothing.” John Lennon

Six months ago our beloved brother Andy Kessler ascended to the next life. His time on Earth encompassed early involvement with today's pop culture staples. From graff art with the likes of legends Zephyr & Haze to rolling on his 4 wheeled wooden plank through the boroughs, Andy was an ORIGINAL with a heart of GOLD. A strong advocate for keeping the youth on the right track, Andy helped sever through the red tape to get parks built in the city for the kids. Friends, the Media & associates will always revere Kess as the City's infamous Mayor.Never Forget.

Toshiro Mifune."Mifune had a kind of talent I had never encountered before in the Japanese film world. It was, above all, the speed with which he expressed himself that was astounding. The ordinary Japanese actor might need ten feet of film to get across an impression; Mifune needed only three." - Akira Kurosawa

The Man, the Moustache and his Works. Bending and Liquifying the rules, he was loved and despised by the art world. A career and ego that surpassed most. The one consistent throughout his life:nice hair.

Mick Jagger: clean cut.

A lost pomade of yesteryear: Fixina. Love the image, color and the "wavy" courier font. Made in Portugal 1944.Translation: "It makes your hair shiny and your style stay put Fixina's new formula, created in 1944, makes your hair shiny and your style stay put, without drying it. Demand Fixina 1944. Fixina, the hair styler of distinguished people."

Mr. Jackson came out with this classic in 1982, a few years after hitting the circuit. New Wave was the old, times had progressed and a re-invented sound and look emerged from this vinyl masterpiece. Joe was polished and crooning his new style behind a baby grand. Way to age with stye and grace.

If "Style is Everything" is our company motto, Joe Jackson's debut album title would be a close second motto to live by. Respects and gratitude to Mr. Jackson for his style and music. Shoes to kill for.
