At the start of the 1950s, midtown Manhattan was the centre of the American music industry, containing the headquarters of three major labels (RCA, Columbia, and Decca), most of the music publishers, and many recording studios. Publishers were the start of the recording process, employing “song pluggers” to go across town and persuade each of the major label artists-and-repertoire (A&R) men to record a new song with one of their established singers. Alongside traditional publishers, whose writers composed for stage shows and Hollywood musicals, were newer companies specializing in country music (including Peer-Southern and Hill and Range) and many affiliates of independent rhythm-and-blues labels. Some larger independent publishers made copublishing arrangements with smaller companies and acted as midwives for the birth of rock and roll by instigating pop cover versions of hits from the country and rhythm-and-blues markets. ~Charlie Gillett

Southern soul is a type of soul music that emerged from the Southern United States. The music originated from a combination of styles, including blues (both 12 bar and jump), country, early rock and roll, and a strong gospel influence that emanated from the sounds of Southern African-American churches. The focus of the music was not on its lyrics, but on the "feel" or the groove. This rhythmic force made it a strong influence in the rise of funk music.

Pioneers of southern soul include: Georgia natives Ray Charles and James Brown; Little Willie John, Bobby "Blue" Bland, New Orleans R&B artist Allen Toussaint; and Memphis DJ Rufus Thomas and Elvis Presley who was steeped heavily in not only country and western and the jump blues of the south, but also heavily influenced by gospel music. At its core, gospel is the main influence of soul music.

Southern soul was at its peak during the 1960s, when Memphis soul was created. In 1963, Stan Lewis founded Jewel Records in Shreveport, Louisiana, along with two subsidiary labels, Paula and Ronn. Jewel and Ronn Records were the leaders[according to whom?] for R&B, blues, soul and gospel tunes. Lewis signed artists such as John Lee Hooker, Charles Brown, Bobby Rush, Buster Benton, Toissaint McCall, Lightin’ Hopkins, Ted Taylor, Little Johnny Taylor and The Uniques. The Carter Brothers in 1965 landed Jewel Records its first national hit on the R&B charts. Southern soul music is still being recorded and performed by artists such as Shirley Brown, Sir Charles Jones, Barbara Carr, Willie Clayton, Bobby Rush, Denise LaSalle, Reggie Sears, TK Soul, Joyce Cobb, O.B. Buchanan, Ms Jody, Karen Wolfe, LeBrado, Redd Velvet, Vick Allen, Floyd Taylor, Bigg Robb, Omar Cunningham, Jeff Floyd, Mel Waiters, Roni, Theodis Ealey, Roy C, Donnie Ray, Millie Jackson, Sam Dees, Ms. Jody and among many other known Southern Soul artists that receive world wide recognition and airplay

Although he had very few major hits Wilbert Harrison is still remembered and revered today for perhaps just two recordings. His 1959 version of Leiber and Stoller's "K.C. Loving", retitled "Kansas City" by Wilbert and his 1962 recording of his own song "Let's Stick Together". Here for the first time in one package Jasmine present all the A and B sides of every single he released between 1953 and 1962, and as the 40 tracks on this collection show, he was anything but a two hit wonder. With many rare blues and R&B recordings this has to be the definitive Wilbert Harrison collection.
