Eccentric Soul: A Red Black Green Production is a must-have for anyone who =
loves soul music and wants to discover some hidden gems from a lesser-known=
 but influential label. It is a tribute to the vision and passion of R.Jos=
=C3=83=C2=A9 Williams and his artists, who created timeless music that stil=
l resonates today.
One of the most distinctive features of the Red Black & Green label was its=
 logo, which consisted of three horizontal stripes of red, black, and green=
. These colors were inspired by the Pan-African flag, also known as the UNI=
A flag, which was created by Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement As=
sociation in 1920. The flag symbolized the unity and liberation of African =
people around the world, and was adopted by many black nationalist and civi=
l rights movements in the 20th century. R.Jos=C3=83=C2=A9 Williams, who was=
 of Afro-Cuban descent, chose these colors to reflect his pride and identit=
y as a black man and a producer of black music. [^4^]

The Red Black & Green label was not only a musical venture, but also a soci=
al and cultural one. Williams wanted to create a platform for his artists t=
o express themselves freely and authentically, without compromising their a=
rtistic vision or integrity. He also wanted to give back to his community a=
nd support various causes and organizations that aligned with his values. F=
or example, he donated some of the proceeds from his records to the NAACP L=
egal Defense Fund, which fought for civil rights and racial justice in the =
courts. He also sponsored local events and festivals that celebrated black =
culture and history, such as the annual Kwanzaa celebration in Washington D=
.C.=20



The Red Black & Green label was active from 1971 to 1979, releasing about 3=
0 singles and four albums during that period. Some of the most notable song=
s from the label include "I'm Not Ready for Love" by Promise, which was sam=
pled by Kanye West on his song "We Don't Care"; "I Really Really Love You" =
by Father's Children, which was featured on the soundtrack of the film Jack=
ie Brown; and "Town Called Nowhere" by Skip Mahoaney & The Casuals, which w=
as covered by British soul singer Paul Weller. The label's music has been r=
eissued and compiled by various labels over the years, such as Soul Brother=
 Records, P-Vine Records, and Numero Group. [^2^] [^3^]
