MUS 354: Part 1 Facts Exam
Okeh Records - correct answer ✔In January 1922, Okeh Records placed an
advertisement in the Chicago Defender, a black newspaper, that announced
"All the greatest race phonograph stars can be heard on Okeh Records ... Ask
your neighborhood dealer for a complete list of Okeh race records." Okeh had
recorded Mamie Smith's "Crazy Blues" at the end of 1920. Its success opened

high as 5 percent of total sales at the end of the twenties, dropped to only 1
percent in the early thirties, and several record companies went out of
business or stopped recording black musicians.
