Английская Википедия:Groove Records
Шаблон:Infobox record label Groove Records was a subsidiary of RCA Victor records, founded by Billboard writer Bob Rolontz in 1953 as a rhythm and blues label.[1] The label tried hard to break into the R&B market. Piano Red had its first hit but Mickey & Sylvia was its first big seller. The label also recorded King Curtis, Arthur Crudup, Brook Benton and George Benson. Following Mickey & Sylvia's big hit "Love Is Strange" in 1957, Groove was deactivated and its remaining artists switched over to RCA's Vik subsidiary.[2]
In 1961, Groove was revived as a budget singles label with more of a country music bent, and some pop and R&B acts.[3] It was given a full revival in 1963.[4] Artists who recorded for the later incarnation of Groove included Anthony Swete,[5] Sonny James, Justin Tubb, Marty Paich, Johnny Nash, Jack Scott, Johnnie Ray, Skip Battin, and Charlie Rich.[6] This version of the label lasted until 1965.
