Stony Island is a 1978 American musical drama film directed by Andrew Davis. It concerns an up-and-coming rhythm and blues band in Chicago.[2] Set in various places in Chicago, including gritty Stony Island Avenue, it stars Richard Davis, the director's brother,[3] and features early appearances from Dennis Franz and Rae Dawn Chong as well as numerous local musicians including saxophone great Gene Barge. Susanna Hoffs, whose mother co-wrote the screenplay, also appears. Future director Mark Romanek worked as one of the cameramen.[4]

The film was well received by critics, who praised its music and the depiction of contemporary Chicago.[5][6] However, the film was not a commercial success.
