American singer Mary Wells was a key figure in the emergence of Motown music in the early 1960s. Known as "The Queen of Motown," she quickly rose to fame and became one of the label's first superstars. Born on May 13, 1943, in Detroit, Michigan, Wells left an indelible mark on the music industry before her departure from Motown in 1964. Sadly, she passed away on July 28, 1992, at Kenneth Norris Jr. Cancer Hospital in Los Angeles, California.

Pan Am Records is an Andorran label that specializes in reissuing Jazz, Swing, and Soul music on vinyl. With a focus on releasing albums after 2011, all of their reissues are from the public domain where the original recording copyright has expired. As a copyright company (P) / (C), Pan Am Records is known for its dedication to preserving and reintroducing classic music to new audiences.

While "Pan-American Records" and releases prior to 2011 may refer to another label, Pan Am Records stands out as a distinct entity within the music industry. They have established strong connections with other notable labels such as Disconforme SL, Elemental Music, Jazz Wax Records, and Vinyl Lovers.

With an extensive catalog of timeless jazz, swing, and soul recordings available on vinyl format, Pan Am Records offers music enthusiasts the opportunity to experience these genres in their purest form. Their commitment to quality reissues ensures that listeners can enjoy the rich sounds of iconic artists and performers like *Miles Davis*, *Ella Fitzgerald*, *Louis Armstrong*, and many more.
