Peacock Records
| Описание: | The Peacock record label was started in 1949 by nightclub owner, songwriter and talent manager [a=Don Robey]. He discovered and managed Peacock's first artist [a=Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown] and built up an impressive roster including [a=Big Mama Thornton], whose original version of "Hound Dog" (later covered by [a=Elvis Presley]) was recorded on Peacock. The label is best known for its gospel music division (whose major acts included The [a=Dixie Hummingbirds], [a=Sensational Nightingales] and the [a=Mighty Clouds of Joy]) whose output soon outnumbered the the label's R&B releases. Robey created the gospel sister label [l=Song Bird (2)] sometime around 1964. Though Peacock still issued R&B recordings well into the Sixties, Robey created the [l=Back Beat (2)] label in 1957 and used it in tandem with the [l=Duke] label (which he initially merged Peacock with in 1952 and gained control of a year later) for R&B material. On May 23, 1973 Peacock was sold to [url=http://www.discogs.com/label/ABC+Records]ABC Records[/url]. Robey stayed on as a consultant with ABC supervising reissues from the Peacock/Songbird/Duke/Back Beat catalog until his death on June 16, 1975. It presevered as the gospel-only ABC Peacock division from 1974 despite the Mighty Clouds of Joy being moved to [l=Dunhill] Records (and then the parent ABC label as Dunhill wound down that same year) until ABC Records' sale to [l=MCA Records] in late 1978. MCA reissued 100-plus Peacock and Songbird gospel LPs in the early Eighties on with references to Peacock and Songbird eliminated from the covers and new MCA catalog numbers stamped in gold. |
