In a rare discovery we uncovered a DETROIT storage unit that contained the contents of Ernest Kelley. The discovery was full of thousands of vinyl records, various music contracts, and sheet music among many others. As a result I am down to the end of the collection. 8 tracks and a hundred vinyl records remain.
Who was Ernest Kelley? Detroit resident and music industry legend, A native of Orangeburg, South Carolina, Kelley entered the music industry after relocating to New York City. While there, Kelley started working at Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) in 1948. His twelve-year stint at BMI was interrupted by a five-year tour of duty with the U. S. Army Medical Corps. In 1961, Kelley started his music publishing and production company. Three years later, Atlantic Records called on him to bolster their promotion and sales staff. During his tenure at the company, he worked with artists such as Aretha Franklin and Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles. In 1968, Kelley relocated to Detroit, Michigan to start a four-year stint with Motown Records. While there, he wore many hats including that of Studio Coordinator where he acted as liaison between various departments and performing artists. During his time at Motown, Kelley worked with many artists including Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, The Temptations and The Jackson Five. After leaving Motown, Kelley started his own business, Inter/Soul Promotions in 1975. Inter/Soul is an independent record promotion and marketing company. His client list includes many well known artists and groups including Hall and Oates, Barry White, George Benson, Helen Reddy, Peabo Bryson and Stacy Lattisaw. Not one to slow down, Kelley was still actively involved in several projects at the time of his death in 2011.
