THE GROOVE LABEL WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1954. BY RCA VICTOR AS A SERIOUS DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO RHYTHM AND BLUES. IT WAS ESTABLISHED TO MARK THE END OF RHYTHM AND BLUES ISSUED ON THE RCA VICTOR LABEL. APART FROM MICKEY & SYLVIA’S 1952 R&B CHART-TOPPER “LOVE IS STRANGE” ITS EFFORTS MET WITH A BAFFLING LACK OF COMMERCIAL SUCCESS CONSIDERING THE OVERALL HIGH QUALITY OF ITS OUTPUT. IN 1957, RCA DISCONTINUED THE GROOVE LABEL OPERATIONS AND THE LABEL ROSTER WERE FREE TO FIND NEW LABEL AFFILIATIONS. A LOT OF THEM WERE NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN. IN ITS SHORT LIFE THE GROOVE LABEL RELEASED SOME OF THE ROCKINEST R&B TRACKS TO COME OUT IN THE 50’S AND A NUMBER OF THEM APPEAR ON THIS COMPILATION. FANTASTIC ******
