		Okeh Records began as an independent record label based in the United States of America in 1918; from the late 1920s on was a subsidiary of Columbia Records.
		Okeh began by issuing popular songs, dance numbers, and vaudeville skits similar to the fare of other labels, but Heineman also wished to experiment with music for audiences neglected by the larger record companies.
		Okeh then opened a recording studio in Chicago, Illinois, the center of jazz in the 1920s, where Richard M. Jones served as "Race" recordings director.

	OKEH RECORDS: The Origins of Okeh (1910-1920)
		Okeh might have gone the way of so many other uninspired start-ups but for an accidental hit that cast it in a new and unexpected role.
		The story of Mamie Smith's "Crazy Blues" (Okeh 4169), the first authentic vocal blues record, is too well known to bear repeating here, but its release in November 1920 revealed a vast, untapped market for recordings by fl performers.
		Foregoing the stodginess that then characterized the American recording establishment at the time, Okeh soon began to scour the nation for performers and material that was often far removed from the mainstream.

	OKeh Album Discography
		OKeh, as a division of record giant Columbia, was independently distributed and used for rhythm and blues releases.
		In 1956, OKeh released the outrageous "I Put a Spell on You" by Screamin' Jay Hawkins, which didn't chart, but has nevertheless become a '50s classic, perhaps being better known today than it was in the 1950s.
		OKeh still had a pretty good year in 1966 on the strength of the productions that Carl Davis left in the vaults, but from there it started going downhill.
