Go for it Ron. However, here two examples of African American country music producers. From 1948 to 1959 Henry Glover was top producer at King Records and produced a number of country artists like Moon Mullican, Grandpa Jones, Cowboy Copas, and Hawkshaw Hawkins. Berry [MoTown] Gordy has three country music labels. His Melodyland label launched the country music career of T.G. Sheppard in 1974.
