It belonged to a man named William Pepper that had been instrumental in bringing an all-Black broadcasting format to legendary WDIA radio station in Memphis. Later Pepper went into partnership with William B. Tanner to form a firm called Pepper-Tanner. Gradually, the label was phased out, and the focus became recording advertising jingles and radio station IDs. My father worked for the firm in those years. It closed in the 1980s after being acquired by Media General. My assumption would be that John Phillip Soul was a brainchild of one of the staff arrangers there-perhaps Larry Muhoberac or Vinny Trouth.jdogghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14873616480085655708noreply@blogger.com
