Ric-Tic Records was a record label set up in the 1960s in Detroit, Michigan, USA by Joanne Bratton and Ed Wingate. Twinned with the Golden World label Ric-Tic featured many soul music artists and was seen as an early competitor for fellow Detroit label Motown. Motown's owner, Berry Gordy was unhappy with the success of Ric-Tic and in 1968 paid $1 million for the signature of many of the label's artists.
