John Vincent Imbragulio (October 3, 1927 ā February 4, 2000),[1] known as Johnny Vincent, was an American record producer for Art Rupe at Specialty Records.[2] He founded Ace Records in 1955 in Jackson, Mississippi,[2] 165 miles away from New Orleans. Although Vincent started out recording local blues musicians, in 1956 he branched out into New Orleans rhythm and blues and rock and roll.[2] He signed Huey "Piano" Smith and his group,[2] who were able to develop a New Orleans shuffle style distinct from the Fats Domino jumping boogie rhythm.[3]
