Joe Bihari

American producer, music entrepreneur and one of the four Bihari Brothers (with Jules Bihari, Les Bihari and Saul Bihari), who co-founded Modern Records (2) in Los Angeles, and its subsidiaries such as Meteor Records based in Memphis. Like his brothers, he used a pseudonym and split writing credits with the original artists on their labels in order to get a part of the royalties, but didn't actually write any of those songs. Famous for "discovering" and first recording B.B. King in Memphis in 1950.
