Notorious mob-associated music industry mogul, primarily known as the owner of the renowned Manhattan jazz club 'Birdland' and as president of Roulette Records, one of the largest independent outlets in recorded music at the time. Levy is often accused of stealing royalties, coercing artists to share writing credits. His business empire spanned every aspect of the industry- from juke-box installations and nightclubs, to retail outlets and labels.
