Despite threats of violence & boycotts, Mamie Smith broke the racially-charged “color barrier” when she first recorded for Okeh Records with a white band in February, 1920. Smith’s music was so wildly successful, she opened the door for more black musicians, and single-handedly ushered in the era of the classic women blues singers.

This is the special XLT version of this Excello Records Vinyl Record t-shirt. 

Slim Harpo's Baby Scratch My Back/I'm Gonna Miss you Like The Devil in 1966 on Excello Records was the label's first #1 hit, spending 2 weeks on the R&B chart. While Excello slipped into closure in the mid 1970s, the music it released was some of the most important in R&B.

This is the actual Slim Harop record label from that original release.

This Bluescentric Brand XLT heavy cotton vinyl record t-shirt is 6.0 oz preshrunk 100% cotton. Sizes run very true, and have minimal, if any, shrinking. This is a standard go-to t shirt for our big & tall music lovers.
