Manny's Music

The store hit its heyday in the 1960s, after British invasion bands started to visit America.

In 1965, Rockefeller Center offered to buy the property, and purchased a new building for Manny's at 156 West 48th Street.

Before his death in 1968, he passed the store on to his son, Henry Goldrich (15 May 1932 – 16 February 2021),[5] and daughter, Helen Burgauer.

[3] Manny's relaunched in 2024[1] after the brand was acquired from Sam Ash by Vista Musical Instruments.

[8] The artists in the pictures include: Henry Goldrich used to tell customers, "You try it, you buy it", as he did not want the shop's guitars to be scratched.
