Joe Medlin, who started his career in the late 1940's, was a singer, producer, promoter and record executive from Virginia. Joe had a good solo career as an artist as well as singing with Big Bands and doing Doo Wop. Joe sung with the world renown and highly influential group, The Ravens. Joe worked at various labels as an artist and as producer, which included Decca, Brunswick, and Mercury. Dave Clark led Joe Medlin into record promotions, breaking the color line, and Joe in turn brought in others, like Al Bell and Charlie Adel. The list of black record promoters got longer and longer and Joe Medlin was a mentor to many of them.
