Many people who are fans of music history have heard of Tower Records. Tower Records is one of the most prominent music chains in the history of American. The man behind the magic of this chain goes by the name of Russell Solomon. Solomon, a music fan from a very young age, began building his empire from very little and turned it into something most people will never forget. Solomon’s record empire held prominence in the music industry until 2006 when it went bankrupt. Few people know that Mr. Solomon is also a very avid art fan and collector. Few people also know that this successful businessman was a high school dropout. That’s right – this billion dollar industry creater did not even attend college. Despite this fact he maintained great success throughout the years. Solomon, an elderly man, is now happily enjoy retirement after the bankruptcy of Tower Records.
