Derek Pearson Posted October 3, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Bo Diddley Posted October 4, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted October 4, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Robbk Posted October 5, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dx PS Wasn't Reprise owned by Frank Sinatra? Edited October 6, 2014 by DaveNPete Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Robbk Posted October 6, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
