Jamie

Founded in 1958 by musician and producer Hugo Peretti, Jamie Records emerged as a significant label in the American music scene, primarily focusing on R&B and pop. The label gained prominence in the early 1960s, particularly with the success of artists like The Five Satins and The Shirelles, whose hits helped define the doo-wop and early rock genres. Jamie Records was known for its innovative production techniques and its ability to blend various musical styles. In the late 1960s, the label expanded its catalog to include a wider array of genres, including soul and funk. However, by the 1970s, Jamie Records faced challenges with competition and changing musical tastes, leading to its decline. Despite this, the label's contributions to the music industry, particularly in promoting African American artists and shaping the sound of early rock and R&B, have left a lasting legacy that continues to be recognized by music historians and enthusiasts.
