Juggy Murray (November 24, 1923 – February 8, 2005) was an American record label owner, producer and singer-songwriter.
His nickname, "Juggy", derived from his near-blind grandfather, who would ask Murray to bring his favorite jug and fill it up with liquor.
[1] Murray worked in real estate in Harlem before he and producer Bobby Robinson co-founded Sue Records in 1957.
Initially, they intended to sell R&B music to the African American community in New York, but in 1958 with "Itchy Twitchy Feeling" by Bobby Hendricks was a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
[1] Their success continued with a string of hits, including "I Idolize You," "It's Gonna Work Out Fine," and "Poor Fool."
[7] As the Sixties progressed, Sue's sub labels produced hits such as "Mockingbird" by brother-and-sister duo Inez & Charlie Foxx and "She Blew a Good Thing" by The Poets on Symbol Records.
After failing to pay off the debt, United Artists assumed ownership of Sue Records masters and Saturn Music publishing.
