[2] Some of the other artists that had a leg up from Kapralik were Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gormé, Peaches & Herb, and Andy Williams.
Kapralink had business interests in the Virgin Islands and wanted to concentrate on his recently opened supper club, The Loft which was located there.
He also wanted to stay in the music business with a company that would handle publishing, personal management and record production.
He was also planning to an event under his direction with the island's governor to present Tony Bennett at a concert to be held at St. Thomas Ball Park.
[7] In 1965, Kapralik brought Van McCoy to the attention of Columbia vice-president, William P. Gallagher.
Taking the advice of Epic's A&R man Kapralik, Stone came back with Dance to the Music.
