El sello negro que casi tuvo a los Beatles.
Chicago, Estados Unidos · 1953 · Fundado por Vivian Carter y James Bracken
Vivian Carter y James Bracken fundaron Vee-Jay en 1953: uno de los primeros sellos de propiedad afroamericana en grabar blues y R&B a gran escala. Jimmy Reed y John Lee Hooker hicieron historia ahí. Y en un giro insólito, fue Vee-Jay quien editó el primer álbum de los Beatles en Estados Unidos, antes de que nadie en su propio país los tomara en serio. Ambición y mala suerte, a partes iguales.
