[1] "TK" was inspired by the initials of sound engineer Terry Kane, who built a recording studio in the attic of Stone's office in Hialeah.
[citation needed] A little more than a year after McCrae's hit, the record label struck gold with KC & The Sunshine Band, releasing five singles that reached No.
Blowfly, The Beginning of the End (Alston); Timmy Thomas, Benny Latimore (Glades); Peter Brown (Drive); Foxy, Kracker, T-Connection (Dash); Jimmy "Bo" Horne (Sunshine Sound); Little Beaver, Gwen McCrae (Cat); Bobby Caldwell (Clouds); and Anita Ward (Juana).
[5] The last single to be released on TK Records was "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Another One Rides the Bus" (1981), based on Queen's song "Another One Bites the Dust".
In 1986, Henry Stone formed Hot Productions with Paul Klein and continued to re-release the TK Records catalog on CD until Sunnyview's acquisition by EMI-Rhino in 1989.
