Johnnie Mae Matthews

Absolute Godess on the British Northern Soul scene, JMM was the first and only female Record Label owner in the USA. Her most memorable and sort after vinyl 45 changes hands for a lot of money. She released a number of tracks on her own lable Blue Rock and was famously portrayed - some say wrongly - as a money grabbing promoter of the Temptations pre-motown in one of those retrospective movies - I forget which one. Her defining moment must be - I Have No Choice on Northern Records
