Ref-O-Ree Records was founded by legendary songwriter/record producer Ted Jarrett in 1968, and its Tee-Jay subsidiary was launched a few years later. Ted had begun his career as an A&R man at Tennessee and Republic Records in the early 1950s, producing gospel music and R&B. When that company folded in 1955, Ted went with Alan Bubis´ Champion/Calvert/Cherokee/Kit group of labels from 1956 to 1959. He produced nearly every record that the company released. By 1960 Ted was one of the best known songwriters in rhythm & blues, having penned million sellers like "It´s Love Baby-24 Hours A Day" (Louis Brooks and the Hi-Toppers 1955) and "You Can Make It If You Try" (Gene Allison 1958). When Alan Bubis founded the Spar label in 1961, he again enlisted the services of Ted Jarrett. Ted produced most of the R&B recordings for the company and the two Herbert Hunter tracks featured here are from the Spar catalog, whereas all of the others on this collection are from the Ref-O-Ree years.

PEOPLE GET READY - Songs Of Protest From The Atlantic & Warner Jazz Vaults
http://www42.zippyshare.com/v/6943800/file.html
Music provided a strong emotional backdrop to the protest movements of the late '60s and early '70s, and this generous collection of period tracks drawn from the Atlantic and Warner vaults is undeniably empowering, ranging from buoyant, gospel-fueled blasts of hope like "People Got to be Free" by Marion Williams, to Freddie Hubbard's jazz fusion instrumental take on Nina Simone's "Backlash Blues," to Rahsaan Roland Kirk's wry, teasing musical jazz poem, "Blacknuss." Looking back from the perspective of the 21st century, it is striking how little angst or personal resignation there is in these pieces, with track after track demonstrating an insistent, unyielding entitlement to freedom, peace, and equality, and it is absolutely sobering to think of how much of that focused, communal certainty has gone out of pop music in the years since these tracks were made. Terry Callier's "Martin St. Martin," an artful folk biography of Martin Luther King, Jr., was actually recorded later (1978) than the other pieces in this anthology, but its tone and sentiment place it squarely at the center, for King certainly understood that successful protest was driven at its heart by a deep belief in the inevitability of a better future. With most of these 15 tracks clocking in at five minutes or more in length, People Get Ready feels both substantial and focused, and Warner should be lauded for getting this powerful set exactly right.(Steve Leggett, Allmusic)
