Derek Pearson Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 From the fifties onwards soul music had a long history and a fine pedigree of talented groups, artists and singers who for whatever reason went down the independent route and did it their way for richer or poorer. Labels were set up and their music was released on their own imprint.. Some were more easily identified than others. Derek
Chalky Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Cleveland Robinson's own label Nosnibor and one I saw in sales elsewhere Milton Parker on Closet.
Bo Diddley Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 JOTIS Records was Otis Redding and Jim Stewart. Only 4 releases produced by them. None with Otis as the main artist.
Robbk Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Sam Cooke's SAR Records did have a release on him. Ray Charles Tangerine Records did not (to my Knowledge) have a release by Ray, although his ABC releases at that time were listed as Tangerine Records productions. There were hundreds of self-owned tiny record labels set up as a vehicle for the owner's solo or group recordings' release.
Dean Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I love this little piece of gospel northern, written by J Jame, sung by J Jame, on J J Records.
Frankie Crocker Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Lloyd Price's Double L label springs to mind. No dynamite tunes here in the few I have but they do turn up regularly so must have sold well enough back in the day.

Batemen did well with New york artists, too.

Otis also owned Eldo Records.

No joke Robb, I read somewhere that Brenton Wood owned the label, thanks for info though, its a great record though
Robbk Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Ike turner owned a whole slew of tiny St, Louis and L.A. labels a few of which had Ike & Tina Turner and Ikettes releases. Innis is one that comes to mind.

Who writes that drivel? Brent and Time were located in New York, and Brenton Wood lived and worked in L.A. I don't remember him owning any record company. He bounced from one tiny L.A. label to another. But all were owned by someone else.

Dx PS Wasn't Reprise owned by Frank Sinatra? Edited October 6, 2014 by DaveNPete
Robbk Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Yes, Washpan was owned by Gino Washington, and he was their major artist. Yes, Frank Sinatra was one of the owners of Reprise. Ludix was owned or co-owned by Luther Dixon. I've never heard that Lloyd Price was involved in that company.
Chalky Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Regarding Brent...you need to get the recent brilliant Kent cd covering the label, a review is on this site in articles
pow wow mik Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Lenis guess - dpg and the most obvious one - willie mitchell at Hi
