Hi Marcos:

It was Joe TarsiA, founder and owner of Sigma Sound Studios. Joe sold Sigma only a couple of years 
ago. That place was definitely home of the Philly Sound, second home of Gamble and Huff (sp?). Their 
NYC studio was the birthplace of the Village People, for better or worse (definitely better for 
Sigma, as all those gold records led to a disco-fueled hot hand).
