Try Me Records

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Try Me Records was a record label founded by James Brown in 1963 under the auspices of Syd Nathan's King Records. It released singles by several acts associated with Brown, including his band The Poets, Johnny and Bill (Johnny Terry and Bill Hollings, both members of The Famous Flames), and Tammy Montgomery, who went on to record for Motown as Tammi Terrell.

The label was named after Brown's 1958 hit song "Try Me".
