Hi Records was a very successful Memphis soul label in the 1960s and 1970s, releasing albums for internationally known acts like Al Green and Ann Peebles. When founder Joe Coughi died in 1970, musician/music producerWillie Mitchell took over running the label. The label's music was mostly recorded at Mitchell's Royal Recording studio in Memphis, Tennessee. The label used a house backing band of local session musicians, known as the Hi Rhythm Section, on its numerous hit recordings of the 1970s. The popularity of disco music in the late 1970s led to an eventual decline in the popularity of the label's Memphis soul style. Willie Mitchell sold the label in 1977.
