Description

In 1988, Joe L. Stone helped write one of Tik Tok's biggest songs ever, "Cars With The Boom," performed (and co-written) by L'Trimm. Hard to believe that a little vinyl record on an unknown label from an independent rap group working out of a South Miami warehouse would find itself adapted through over 2 million micro videos thirty years later, but that's exactly what happened. The phenomenon was covered in the Washington Post, and Billboard, and signaled the hit making power of social media for resurrecting old IP that's been sitting in the catalog, and making it pop again. In its heyday, "Cars With The Boom" did make it to Atlantic Records through a licensing deal negotiated industry pioneer Henry Stone (the recording's owner), and it saw widespread sales and plenty of chart action, so its resonant powers to move the masses has been quantified for decades. And the track had already been named to Rolling Stone's Top 100 hip hop songs of all time, so its cultural impact was well documented. But the fact that over a billion streams by the global youth market, and even Tik Tok's biggest platform stars catapulted it all the way out of the streaming stratosphere came as a surprise to all parties involved. And it proved that true hits never die, they go into orbit and come back around as history repeats itself through new generations. Joe L. Stone was born into the music business. His father Henry Stone was Atlantic Record's first Florida distributor. Joe used to fetch Cognac for James Brown, run errands for BB King, and even wrote a song for Wilson Pickett. He has been involved with everything from funk, soul, and R&B, to techno, freestyle, rap, and even gospel. Today, he's still writing, producing, arranging, as well as making executive level moves in licensing and distribution for an impressive catalog of IP going all the way back to the late 1940s. In this special virtual event, Joe L. Stone will answer all of your questions about the new music business, the meaning of publishing and recording, composition, and songwriting copyrights, and even how block chain technology, and new advances in song detection are changing everything once again, just like the shift from vinyl to CD's did in the 1990's.
