It was known for rhythm and blues, gospel, and early rock and roll, having recorded Little Richard, Guitar Slim, Percy Mayfield, and Lloyd Price.[1] Rupe started the company under the name Juke Box Records but changed it to Specialty when he parted company with a couple of his original partners. Rupe's daughter restarted the label in the 1980s.[1] The major producers for the label were Rupe, Robert "Bumps" Blackwell, Johnny Vincent and J. W. Alexander.[2] Rupe was known as one of the most honest owners of an independent R&B record company in the 1950s.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}} He was known for paying his artists, recording them well, and allowing some of the wildest R&B to be issued on any label of the day.{{Citation needed|date=October 2009}} He was also known for hating payola,[3] but by 1953, "the only way for Specialty to remain competitive was to pay like everybody else."[4] Specialty also owned music publishing companies, Venice Music for BMI-licensed songs and Greenwich Music for ASCAP licensed-songs.[5] The record label was sold to Fantasy Records in 1991 and is now part of the Concord Music Group. The music publishing unit was sold to Sony/ATV Music Publishing. Roster
