AFO Records
All for One Records, better known as AFO, was the first African American musician-owned record label. AFO was founded in New Orleans in 1961 by Harold Battiste, who was an established composer, arranger, and performer. AFO was established as a musicians' collective. According to AFO alumnus Wallace Johnson, Battiste "said it was time for New Orleans musicians that make the music to make the money – not out-of-town companies that came here to record." In 1961, AFO released Barbara George's song "I Know (You Don't Love Me No More)", which reached the top of the R&B and pop charts.
