Jackson, Mississippi, label founded in 1955 by Johnny Vincent, who held nearly all of his recording sessions in New Orleans, especially at Cosimo Matassa's recording studio. Hits include Huey ''Piano'' Smith's ''Rocking Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu'' and Frankie Ford's ''Sea Cruise.'' Releases slowed to a trickle after the mid-1960s, but in 1971 Vincent reactivated it to reissue classic performances and some new material.
