Founded in Harlem, New York by Jack Taylor, a purported gangster, it initially operated as a soul and R&B label from 1957 to 1972, primarily in New York, but also in Detroit, Michigan after OC Tolbert joined the label during the late 1960s. It was briefly revived during the fall of 1980 as an early hip hop/disco label with offices above the Harlem World Disco nightclub and issued several releases until Taylor's death a few years later. It operated in tandem with its sister label Rojac Records.
