Yet, that is exactly what Tommy Couch, Sr., Mitchell Malouf and Wolf Stephenson decided to do in 1967.

The Last Soul Company chronicles the history of the label and dives into the careers of label artists that include Mississippi Fred McDowell, Bobby Blue Bland, Z.Z. Hill, Little Milton, Johnnie Taylor, James Cleveland, and others. The 200-page volume contains rare photographs with a forward by early rock expert Peter street date: March 23, 2021 Guralnick.
