Vee-Jay Records was founded in the 50s, located in Chicago, specializing in blues, jazz, rhythm and blues and rock and roll. Founded by Vivian Carter and James C. Bracken, the husband-and-wife team used their initials for the label’s name. One of the earliest African American-owned record companies, they quickly became a major R&B player. In a decade, they had significant success in pop while also becoming a major soul label and that’s exactly who your Uncle Marty is playing for you on encounter 566 of The 3D RadioActivity.
