During the early 1950s, they called Atlantic Records, “The house that RUTH built”, because Ruth Brown had scored so many consecutive top 10 and #1 hit records for the label. She’s still rocking to this day. Catch some of her greatest 50s sides this week on Harlem: the soul that came before Rock n’ Roll.
