 From a write-up about the songwriter, Deborah Chessler in Discogs:
Quote:
She began to manage the Vibra-naires, a group that would become the Orioles. She got them booked on Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts TV show, where they came in third but were a popular success. Their first record, a single called "It's Too Soon to Know," had been previously recorded by Savannah Churchill. The group's version of the song, which came out in June 1948, was considered one of the first rhythm and blues songs...

The It's A Natural single was also pressed in a purple label color, and eventually was put out on Jubilee, probably in November of 1948 at the same time as Jubilee 5001 was released. Widely considered the first rhythm and blues vocal group hit; sometimes called the first rock and roll record. It was also ground-breaking in that Deborah Chessler, a Jewish woman, was managing an African-American vocal group at a time when the industry was rigidly segregated.
