Compiled with help from Global Dog Productions though I took off their listing of Penny Gilley at 1016 as I believe that’s a different N-Joy label.
Check this out… this may help with the completion. I was born and raised in West Monroe and NEVER knew about N-Joy.

Hope that helps!
I’m pretty sure that list duplicates what I already listed, though I had doubts if the Penny Gilley was from the same N-Joy label.
Cool site from Rocky, for sure.
Ron Gray, who made an N-Joy record in the 1960s ..No More and on back Ajax The Tin Knight ( I used to have the record but lost it) I have No More but would love to have the song, Ajax The Tin Knight..
If you know where I could get just a copy of the song for sentimental reasons, please let me know. Ron Gray died in January in Lewisville, TX.
Thursday’s Children (John Dunn and Sidney Farmer) did a record thru N-Joy, as well. All are friends of mine from our hometown of Springhill, LA .. Any info on Ajax will be appreciated.
thanks,
Donald Woodard
