Biography :
J.
Mayo Williams was the most important black record executive of the
1920s and 1930s. From 1945 through 1949, he ran the Harlem label (based
in New York City), and the Chicago, Southern, and Ebony label (based in
Chicago). After a period of freelance producing, he reopened the Ebony
label in 1952 and kept it going through the early 1970s recording the
likes of Lil Armstrong, Bonnie Lee, Oscar Brown and Hammie Nixon.

The two records by The Eagle-Aires are Williams' only known venture
into doowop. The group was first-rate, but Williams apparently didn't
sustain his interest in the genre. Again, the balance between the
singers and the instrumentalists is not what would ensue from an outing
at Universal Recording.
