Year: 1955
Covers:
Vee-Jay was already a smooth running black label in Chicago while Berry Gordy still worked day-shifts at the Ford factory line in Detroit. Just as easily as Motown hitted in later days, Vee-Jay's blues, rhythm 'n blues and doowop output crossed-over to the pop charts while keeping their focus on the black market. For their white customer section they put white acts in line: The Four Seasons came out on Vee-Jay in America and so did The Beatles initially. Which was the company's kiss of death in a way. Suddenly they were forced to ten-fold their personnel and once that personnel was found, they lost the Fabs to major Capitol.
