CHAMP

 

 

The offices and studio of Champ were right next door to HSE at 1705 Church Street in Nashville, Tennessee. Champ owner Jim Stanton's hands on approach is evident when looking at label scans and albums covers. He is credited on many Champ productions as producer and/or engineer. With minimal budgets Stanton was able to make some of the most interesting gospel records of the time. Stanton wasn't only recording gospel, he was also involved in the recording of many country tunes. And for a time he even owned the country label Rich-R-Tone Records. Stanton was involved in the music business till his death in 1989.

 

Both the 45s and the Album discography are far from complete. Consider them as works in progress. And when you've additional information please email it to me.
