Cliff Muhammad inherited The Record Track from his Uncle Wister Adriane, who left behind a treasure trove of old vinyl LPs and CDs when he died.
Perhaps you’ve heard vinyl albums are making a big comeback, even as we stream music on our phones. A couple of African American entrepreneurs are riding vinyl’s renewed popularity to worldwide sales from their small store on Chicago’s South Side.
But a funny thing happened on the way to liquidation: neighbors expressed their appreciation for the small shop.“My uncle’s customers would walk in. … We’re trying to sell everything, and they’re like, ‘We’re glad you’re still here,’” Muhammad said. Cliff’s wife, Connie Anderson, who has a degree in finance, is his partner this unexpected endeavor. He had to convince her to leave the North Side to take on this South Side business, and to make their home in the community.The Arkansas native had heard the negative chatter about the South Side, and seen the disinvestment here. But now she’s found a sense of family.
