History
History
Davis created the firm to rival black publishers. He, himself, was white. Davis issued mostly blues and popular songs written by blacks. Davis dropped the Triangle imprint in the 1930s and replaced it with Joe Davis, Inc. He sold the firm in 1939 and went into the record manufacturing business, becoming a major independent record salesman as well.
