Known as "Mr. Country Music" for his contributions in that field, Satherley also recorded many important early black musicians, such as Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, said historian and veteran country music disc jockey Hugh Cherry, who knew Satherley for 40 years. "He recorded everything--cowboy music, hillbilly, black acts when they were called race records and novelty groups. He was the first recording director to record in Nashville," Cherry said.
The country music Establishment recognized Satherley's contributions by inducting him into its Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville in October, 1971. He also received the first Pioneer Award given by the Academy of Country Music in 1968. Satherley was vice president of Columbia Records when he retired in 1952.
