The key area for post war R & B and soul in Texas was Houston of course, and the king of black music there was
its height was a multi-million dollar enterprise covering record labels, clubs, a booking agency and a huge publishing
empire. He was well known for a “robust” management style, using both legal and other means to enforce his will in
an unforgiving world, and although many people got on his wrong side at the time, his legacy of gospel, blues and soul
music is almost unparalleled, rich in variety and quality.
This LP shines the spotlight on some of the lesser known artists associated with Robey from 1964. None of the tracks
included here has ever seen the light of day on vinyl since their 45s were originally issued.
