Black Patti Records was a short-lived American record label based in Chicago, Illinois, United States, founded by Mayo Williams in 1927. It was named after the black opera singer Matilda Sissieretta Joyner Jones, who was called Black Patti because some thought she resembled the Italian opera singer Adelina Patti. The label lasted seven months and produced 55 records. The Black Patti peacock logo was used in the 1960s by Nick Perls for his Belzona and Yazoo labels.

The label lasted seven months and produced 55 records. The Black Patti peacock logo was used in the 1960s by Nick Perls for his Belzona and Yazoo labels. At Paramount, Mayo Williams was a successful producer of race records, i.e., records made by black musicians to be sold to black customers. When he left Paramount to start Black Patti. he had no equipment, only his Chicago office space. The records were pressed at Gennett Records in Richmond, Indiana. The catalog included jazz, blues, sermons, spirituals, and vaudeville skits, most but not all by black entertainers. Willie Hightower was among the musicians who recorded for the label. Williams closed the label before the end of 1927. (en)
  • Black Patti Records was een Amerikaans platenlabel uit de jaren twintig. Het label was eigendom van de van . Black Patti Records was vernoemd naar de 19e-eeuwse zangeres , wier bijnaam The Black Patti was (naar de beroemde operaster Adelina Patti). Mayo Williams werkte bij Paramount Records, waar hij verantwoordelijk was voor de race-records, platen bestemd voor de 'zwarte' markt. In 1927 besloot hij zelf een platenmaatschappij te beginnen, hoewel hij slechts een kantoor in Chicago had. Het persen van de platen besteedde hij daarom uit aan . In mei 1927 begon hij te adverteren. Zijn catalogus bestond uit jazz, blues, preken, spirituals en vaudeville-opnames, het merendeel door Afro-Amerikanen. Nadat hij zo'n 55 platen had uitgebracht, kwam hij erachter dat het toch niet zo'n lucratieve business was en stopte ermee nog voor 1927 voorbij was. De belangrijkste platen van het label waren waarschijnlijk de opnames van de jazzband van Willie Hightower. Het logo van het label, een art-deco-pauw, werd eind jaren zestig gebruikt door voor zijn label , later Yazoo Records. (nl)
