Let's Talk: GMG History of Malaco Records
b"
This episode tells a bit of Malaco Record Label's history and it's significance in the genre of Black Gospel Music. The company started in the 1960's focused on The Southern soul sounds featuring artists who were generating a crowd that did not necessarily hit the top radio stations or fan base. Many of the early artists were soul singers and blues singers it wasn't until Misty Blue came out and hit the charts hard then garnering the attention of this small town independent record label. As a matter of fact that one song is said to prevent the label from going into bankruptcy.
\\nIn the 1970's the owners decided to lean into the Black gospel genere signing several quartet groups to their label, however the label's largest signing choir did not come on until the mid to late 1980's and became the label's largest selling group to date. And that group was none other than The Mississippi Mass Choir (Organized by the Late Frank Williams of The Williams Brothers).
