I knew Mr. Robinson and his daughter for years, I purchased many 45’s from his record store on 125th St. off the corner of 8th Ave right in front of the bus stop. People talk about Motown but he was doing it before Motown was even though of. It’s good to see that he’s finally getting DUE RECOGNITION he also pioneered the very first rap recordings.

I knew Bobby in harlem at his record shop and I found out he had my uncle Wilbert Harrison on his label

Bobby Robinson founded a record store in Harlem and started a record business which was a big deal. It started with the Mill Brothers, one of the many black vocal groups of the 1940’s, and the Ink Spots, another black group from that period. During the early part of the 1940’s, American Federation of Musicians (AFM) decided to ban all orchestras and arrangers due to the strike. So the big name artists like Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Perry Como decided to sing a cappella with backup singers and they were white, and it was early stages of what later become doo-wop. One of the greatest examples was “Comin’ In On A Wing And A Prayer”, a WW2 protest song by the Song Spinners and it became a #1 hit in 1943 and doo-wop wasn’t even ready yet.

I saw him in Harlem about 45 yrs ago a short nice man . Great story on him.

[@colinhalliley111]

I love collecting old label 45s . The history of them and the various artwork and of course the music. I even collect the many types of center discs that snapped in the record so they would fit on any player. I grew up with a portable wind up record player, took it everywhere . This is a great piece of history you have posted !

[@williampalminteri1727]

We called those center discs "spinners" back in the day (50s, 60s). Yeah, I'm THAT old !

Told me that when Jimi Hendrix worked for him at his recording studio around the block from the Apollo Theater Jimi had the same thing for lunch every day. It was a hamburger and grape soda.

[@nicwalker2175]

Much respect to you, Mr Chance B, for collecting and archiving this very important data on our music story. This information is priceless and should be taught in the schools to all children in America. It shows and proves who were the true creators of all forms of music in America which affected music worldwide as well. Our ancestors creativity and hard work has always been taken and claimed by others to benefit from, so sad. Your technique is very professional and well put together. Thank you.❤

[@Classic63]

Hi Nic! Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@imagine07018]

Saw you in the Billy Stewart doc. Nice job as usual.

[@Classic63]

Hi Imagine07018 ! Thank you so much!

Wow I like that version of Soul Serenade that was King Curtis he died of a stab wound he was a landlord he bought some property I can't remember where it was I think it was in Brooklyn and somebody was sitting on his property he told the fella to get up and that he owned the building and could not being loitering on his property a fight broke out and he was stabbed to death that's how King Curtis lost his life

[@marvelousmartian5379]

EXCELLENT! I first heard his name through Gladys Knight & The Pips. Interestingly enough I've heard of most of the people he dealt with and have their music in my collection. It would have been nice if he handled the label and his brother Danny handled the distribution, they would have been bigger I think under one umbrella! That abkco guy and Morris Levy are as lowdown as they come. Speaking of which, Gladys Knight said that when she was at Motown, Ewart Abner was a vice president at the company and slip them some extra money. She believe it was for the Every Beat of My Heart record since Ewart was a vice president at VeeJay at the time. Otherwise this was excellent! I didn't know he had something to do with Sue Records, which was also before Motown, very interesting!

[@Classic63]

Thnk you so much Marvelous Martian!
