Atlantic Rhythm and Blues
1947 - 1974

This huge, incredible compilation of music contains eight discs of music. We have only included the song by song annotation from the book. A major portion of the book was artist biographies, most of which can be found online already.

Please see below for links to the volumes. The following is a dedication from the opening of the book from Ahmet Ertegun.
__________________________________________________

This set documents the highlights of the first 27 years of Atlantic Black Music. It also is a reflection of my early career as a producer of Rhythm and Blues, in the first few years with Herb Abramson, and for many more years (since 1953) with Jerry Wexler, and often with Nesuhi Ertegun.

There isn't room to mention everyone involved in these recordings, but I would like to thank the following: Miriam Bienstock, Tommy Dowd, Arif Mardin, Jesse Stone, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Ray Ellis, King Curtis, Ollie McLaughlin, Jim Stewart, Klaus Ogerman, Howard Biggs, Stanley Appelbaum, Gary Sherman, Rick Hall, Buddy Killen, Quinn Ivy, Huey Meaux, Dickie Kline, Joe Galkin, and Henry Stone; and of course, Henry Allen, Noreen Woods, and Max Silverman, without whom it would not have been possible.

Most of all, I want to state my appreciation for the many wonderful years I spent with Jerry Wexler making these now historic recordings.

Ahmet Ertegun
