  16. Sams was a big part of my early years. RIP SAM Thanks for the memories. TORONTO - For many music-lovers who flocked to downtown Toronto’s iconic Sam the Record Man store, the owner’s retirement marked the day the music died. Now, after a career that spanned seven decades, people everywhere are paying tribute to Sam Sniderman, who died Sunday at 92. “Sam the Record Man,” who had branches across the country, “was the last of the great Canadian showmen that were able to establish themselves as household names purely through the force of their personality,” close friend Brian Robertson, chairman Eemeritus of the Canadian Recording Industry Association, said Monday. “He was a mentor to literally hundreds of Canadian artists and musicians and the Yonge St. record store and Sam’s presence there was the centre of the Canadian music industry’s universe for over three decades.” In addition to new releases, the savvy businessman’s upper floors overflowed with foreign, classical, ethnic-theme and small-release platters. The high school dropout and savvy businessman also befriended and mentored performers — whose photos were everywhere. Anne Murray, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell and The Guess Who were among the regulars who chatted with fans and signed autographs. “It was like a mecca,” said songwriter and guitarist Steve Campbell, publisher of County Magazine and producer of Quarter Moon Cafe music nights in the Bloomfield village hall south of Belleville. He and his late brother Rick, also a musician, regularly visited Sam’s in the 1960s and ’70s, when Campbell often heard Sniderman’s booming voice and met him once. “We were looking for a new Beatles record and he said ‘tomorrow, come back tomorrow at 9 o’clock,’ so we did and there were hundreds of people scooping it up ... for $1.99,” he said. “The prices kept people coming back,” Campbell said, recalling stacks of new-release records priced at 99 cents or $1.99, at a time when other outlets asked $4.95. “Sam was larger than life … a retailer’s dream, always in the store.” Among many tributes, Sun reader Alev Hashalom wrote Sniderman “supported and encouraged Canadian musicians and helped careers.” Sharon Russell recalled meeting him in the ’70s, “when The Great Rufus Road Machine was launching its album. “He was wonderful ... made you feel right at home ... always had time for you and he had great stories to tell,” she wrote. “Thank you for the dusty fingers I cherished after spending hours flipping through your collections,” Daryl Faulkner added. Born in Toronto, and raised in Kensington Market, Sniderman first sold records in his brother Sidney’s store, Sniderman Radio Sales and Service, in 1937, where he also installed car radios. He opened a second store 22 years later on Yonge St. and launched franchises in 1969. “I don’t know why the hell I chose records,” Sniderman told an interviewer in 1995. With radio so popular before the Second World War, pundits predicted no future in records, but his mom, Gertrude, let him install a record bar. Expanding from wax to vinyl, from 78 rpm records to 45s, 33s, then tapes and CDs, until retiring in 2000 and turning the business over to relatives, “I never looked back,” he said. “Through his unique and successful business, which became a national enterprise, he brought energy and excitement to Yonge Street, and through his passion for music he provided encouragement and support to a generation of Canadian artists,” Ryerson University president Sheldon Levy said in a statement. “We are proud to be developing our new Student Learning Centre on the site of the former flagship store on Yonge,” Levy stated, adding the purchase by the university for $23 million “will be revitalized as a hub for this and future generations of young people, and retail.” A Member of the Order of Canada, Sniderman was inducted into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame, the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, received the Governor General’s award and cofounded a sound recordings archive at the University of Toronto, with his wife. He is survived by sons Bobby and Jason, their wives and four grandchildren. A service on Tuesday at Benjamin’s Park Memorial Chapel will be followed sometime next month by a memorial service.
