Bio
.. ..SOLAR Records CEO Dick Griffey.. certainly undershot his companys impending influence when he named the label ..Sound Of Los Angeles Records... .. .. Started in ..1975.. by TV personality ..Don Cornelius.. and African American entrepreneur Griffey as ..Soul Train Records.., the partnership dissolved in two years. Griffey took over the starships steering wheel, rechristening it ..SOLAR... .. .. Signing hungry, post-disco funk-n-soul bands like ..Lakeside.., ..Midnight Star.. and ..The Deele.., manufacturing new crossover vocal groups like ..Shalamar.. and ..Dynasty.., ushering veteran local vocal quintet ..The Whispers.. to international love men acclaim, taking a chance on an all-female band called ..Klymaxx.. and giving his then-singer/songwriter wife ..Carrie Lucas.. First Lady status, Griffeys company truly turned out a galaxy of stars. Equally important are the great in-house writers, musicians, producers and orchestrators that molded the music into masterpieces that are still sampled and covered to this day. Why? Because the sound - as ..SOLAR.. implies - is UNIVERSAL, reaching far beyond L.A. and the U.S. to touch listeners `round the globe with impeccably produced, surround-sound escapism for the love nest and the dance floor. Its the company that incubated ..Leon Sylvers III.., ..Kenneth Babyface Edmonds.., ..Antonio L.A. Reid.., ..Howard Hewett.., ..Jody Watley.., ..Bernadette Cooper.. and many more before spinning them off into stellar orbits of their own. The companys final hit even encompassed Hip Hop history with the theme song from the gritty ghetto flick ..Deep Cover.., on which West Coast rap don ..Dr. Dre.. introduced superstar to be, ..Snoop Doggy Dogg... .. .. In honor of its initial magnificence and continued cache, ..EMI.. is proud to commemorate the ..30th Anniversary of SOLAR Records... .. .. - A. Scott Galloway .. ...... .. ..
