Race records is a term for 78-rpm phonograph records marketed to African Americans between the 1920s and 1940s.[1] They primarily contained race music, comprising various African-American musical genres, blues, jazz, and gospel music, rhythm and blues and also comedy. These records were, at the time, the majority of commercial recordings of African American artists in the U.S., and few African American artists were marketed to white audiences. Race records were marketed by Okeh Records,[2] Emerson Records,[3] Vocalion Records,[4] Victor Talking Machine Company,[5] Paramount Records, and several other companies.
