Jubilee Records was founded in 1952 by Jerry Blaine in New York City, initially focusing on popular music and rhythm and blues. The label gained prominence in the 1950s and 1960s, releasing hits that contributed to the doo-wop and rock and roll movements. Notable artists included The Five Satins, known for their classic "In the Still of the Nite," and The Shirelles, who were pivotal in the girl group genre with hits like "Will You Love Me Tomorrow." Jubilee also ventured into country music, signing artists such as The Wilburn Brothers. The label's output declined in the late 1960s, but its influence remained, particularly in the realm of early rock and R&B. Jubilee Records is remembered for its contributions to the sound of the 1950s and 1960s, leaving a lasting legacy in American music history.
