(242) THE APOLLO RECORDS STORY

Click on the title above to get to the link of a site by David Edwards and Mike Callahan - who we've posted before - that's all about the APOLLO RECORDS of New York City that Ersel Hickey recorded on.

Quote, "The Apollo Records discussed here was formed in New York City in 1944 by Ike and Bess Berman, with Hy Siegel and Sam Schneider. The label recorded rhythm and blues, gospel, jazz, and popular music. Kenwood was a reissue label with issues given the same number as the original Apollo release, although it is not known if all the Apollo LPs were reissued on Kenwood. The albums were all mono to our knowledge." unquote.

These guys do a lot of research so we'll let them tell the story of Apollo. Ersel didn't have an album, he had singles!

Thanks Mike and Ed!
