Black Swan Records was an American record label founded in Harlem, New York, in 1921 by Harry Pace through the Pace Phonograph Corporation. Named after the celebrated 19th-century African American opera singer Elizabeth Taylor Greenfield, known as the “Black Swan,” the company sought to provide recording opportunities for African American musicians at a time when the major record companies offered limited opportunities to Black performers.
Black Swan initially emphasized classical, concert, and spiritual music, reflecting Pace’s desire to present African American performers in a broad range of musical styles. The label soon expanded into blues and jazz, with artists including Ethel Waters, Alberta Hunter, Trixie Smith, Fletcher Henderson, Revella Hughes, and C. Carroll Clark. Fletcher Henderson served as a pianist and musical director, while William Grant Still worked as an arranger and later musical director.
The label became commercially successful but faced increasing competition from larger record companies. After financial difficulties, the Pace Phonograph Corporation declared bankruptcy in December 1923. In 1924, Paramount Records acquired the Black Swan catalog, subsequently issuing some of the recordings under the Black Swan-Paramount name before absorbing the material into its own catalog.
