Roulette Records was an American record company and label founded in 1957 by George Goldner, Joe Kolsky, Morris Levy and Phil Kahl, with creative control given to producers and songwriters Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore. Levy was appointed director.

The label had known ties to New York City mobsters.[1] Levy ran the label with an atomic number 26 fist.[two] In 1958 Roost Records was purchased. Goldner subsequently bowed out of his partnership interest in Roulette and, to comprehend his gambling debts, sold his record labels Tico, Rama, Gee and — years later — End and Gone to Levy, who grouped them into Roulette. Peretti and Creatore later left Roulette and worked as freelance producers for RCA Records throughout the 1960s. They co-founded Avco Records in 1969. In 1971 Roulette took over the catalog of Jubilee Records.

History [edit]

During the late 1950s, Roulette scored hits by Buddy Knox, Jimmy Bowen, The Playmates, Jimmie Rodgers, Ronnie Hawkins and The Delicates every bit well as releasing albums by Pearl Bailey, Dinah Washington and Count Basie.

During the early 1960s, Roulette issued recordings connected to the twist dance craze, such every bit "Peppermint Twist" by Joey Dee and the Starliters. They as well released a rare album of "twist songs" by Bill Haley & His Comets, Twistin' Knights at the Roundtable. Other major 1960s hits for the characterization include "Two Faces Accept I" by Lou Christie. A group of United States Marines called The Essex recorded the hit "Easier Said Than Done" while based at Military camp Lejeune, NC, in 1963. In 1964, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay showtime recorded together on Roulette while in the nine-member Au Go Go Singers, the business firm band for the Buffet Au Become Go in New York City.

In the Britain Roulette'southward records were issued on EMI's Columbia label. In Apr 1965, the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland music magazine NME reported that Roulette had agreed to offering a sponsored show to the United kingdom pirate radio radio station Radio Caroline. The 60 minutes-long bear witness, recorded in the US past disc jockey Jack Spector, was to be broadcast v evenings a week. The contract covered a two-year menses and was worth over £10,000 to the station.[3]

Tommy James (left) has stated that Morris Levy (right) hid royalties from the Shondells' biggest hits

Co-ordinate to Tommy James of Tommy James and the Shondells, whose "Hanky Panky", "I Think We're Alone Now", "Mirage", "Mony Mony", "Cherry-red and Clover" and many others were released during his time at the label, Roulette was a front business organisation for the Genovese offense family. James estimates that the label kept $30 1000000-$xl 1000000 of the group's royalties just afforded it total artistic freedom, whereas some other characterization would accept tampered with its formula and might have dropped the group early on.[one] Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Roulette was i of the industry's major distributors, handling records for many leading labels.

Levy was the key fiscal backer for the rap music characterization Sugar Colina Records, which was founded in 1974 by the husband-and-wife squad Joe and Sylvia Robinson. Saccharide Loma released the outset Pinnacle forty rap single, "Rapper'south Delight", in 1979. In the early 1980s, the Robinsons bought Levy out.

In 1981, Henry Stone turned to Levy to help preclude the demise of TK Records, so they set up Sunnyview Records under the Roulette umbrella. In 1986, Levy was arrested, tried and bedevilled for extorting coin from an FBI informant, John LaMonte, simply he died in Ghent, New York, earlier serving any time in prison house. In 1989, Roulette Records was sold to a consortium of EMI and Rhino Records, the latter of which was later acquired by Warner Music Group. Rhino would control Roulette's pop catalogue in the USA, Canada and United mexican states, while EMI acquired Roulette's jazz catalogue worldwide, plus the international distribution of Roulette's pop catalogue.[4] As of 2013, Warner Music Grouping at present has worldwide rights to the Roulette catalogue every bit a result of acquiring EMI's Parlophone label.[5] [half-dozen]

Following their 1989 acquisition, Rhino and EMI began issuing large royalty checks to sometime Roulette artists. Tommy James recalled that his checks were in amounts in six or seven digits. Roulette was notorious for non paying royalties to its artists, who had to rely on concerts and personal appearances for their income.[1]

Until 2013, EMI used the Roulette name for the reissue of old Roulette-label material. In the US, Bluish Note Records handled the Roulette jazz catalogue for release on the Roulette Jazz characterization until 2013. It was 1 of the units of Parlophone that Universal Music was required to sell to Warner Music Grouping to comply with international regulators.
