K-C Records, Inc., was a small and short-lived independent label that was based in New York that was incorporated February 1, 1962, in California, by Nat "King" Cole and Jack Gale (1914–2004) – his promoter and manager.[1][2] The label issued eighteen 45 rpm records (thirty-six singles) over 20 months – the first being in April 1962 (catalog No. KC-101) and the last in November 1963 (catalog no. KC-120).
History
[edit]The label's genre covered twist, pop samba, beat, doo-wop, surf, R&B, soul, blues, and rockabilly. With the exception of Sue Raney and Barbara McNair, the label's recording artists were regional. Seventeen of the recordings reprsented a niche vertical integration of two of Cole and Gale's three music publishing firms – Sweco Music Corporation, a BMI license affiliate, and Comet Music Corporation, an ASCAP member. Tri-Park Music Corp., a BMI affiliate, was the third, with which, songwriters – notably Jack Hammer – had signed exclusives. Cole had been an internationally acclaimed recording artist with Capital Records since 1944. When Cole and Gale launched K-C Records, Cole remained with Capitol. And, to that end, Cole and Gale's focus on K-C Records was essentially eclipsed by the larger ongoing commercial success of Cole's performing career. As a reference, in the 1950s, Cole was earning about $500,000 (equivalent to $5,686,957 in 2023) a year and had sold more than 50,000 albums. During the twenty months that K-C was active, Cole released six major albums with Capitol. From mid-year through year-end 1963, key personnel with K-C Records – Jack Gale, Dick LaPalm, and Renny Roker – had moved on. Cole died in 1965. Billboard magazine, in an obituary for Cole, characterized the label as never having gotten off the ground.[3] The year Cole died, he was capable of earning $20,000 (equivalent to $193,369 in 2023) a week.[4]
History
[edit]Cole was president; Jack Gale (1914–2004), a former trombonist, was vice-president and general manager. Dick LaPalm (1928–2013) was vice-president of national sales and promotion. K-C Records was headquartered in Chicago.[5] The label was owned by K-C Records, Inc., an entity incorporated in California February 1, 1962, and registered as a foreign business corporation in New York March 13, 1962. As of December 2020, its status as a California corporation is suspended. As of November 9, 2020, the company is active in New York.[6]
In 1963, Cole and Gale formed the Cole and Gale Music Distributing company which joins their existing companies Sweco and Comet Music Corporations,[7] which, that same year, moved its new headquarters on West 57th Street in Manhattan, which will also became the home of Cole's recording company, K-C Records, Inc. Also, in 1963, Cole and Gale acquired sole selling rights to the Burke-Van Heusen Music, George Simon, Inc., Simon House, Johnny Burke, Inc., and Jimmy Van Heusen, Inc. catalogs.[8]
Also, in 1962, K.C. Records acquired rights to Don Gardner and Dee Dee Ford's single, "The Glory of Love."[9]

He had produced Donna Dee. Sepe, in 1956, was the casino manager of the Famous Nevada Club, Las Vegas. He was a composer and producer who owned small labels, Counsel Records, Laurel Records (1959-1961), and Domain Records. He was also affiliated with Lornette Productions (Ben Kramer and Tony Dano, pseudonym of Anthony Soldano). In 1961, Sepe produced two popcorn soul singles by Donna Dee on Counsel Records (cat no. 1014), "Television" (w&m by Tom Soldano), backed with "Nobody's Gonna Hurt You" (w&m by Eddie Cooley). The two recordings were re-released in 1962 on ABC-Paramount (cat. no. 45-10296). "Nobody's Gonna Hurt Me" was released again in 2013 on the Popcorn 45 label (cat. no. POPC-124), owned by Jazzman Record Co., Ltd., founded and operated in London by Gerald "Jazzman" Short.
The Cupids
[edit]This group, a vocal doo-wop group, was from Red Hook, Brooklyn. The group was composed of:
- Five artists, two African-American males, Nicky and Danny Hughes, who were brothers, a White guy, Henry Jensen, and a Puerto Rican as lead (Lenny Colton):
- Nicky Hughes
- Danny Hughes
- Henry J. Jenzen (1942–1966)
- Lenny Colton
In 1962, They recorded on United World Records "True Love, True Love" b/w "Let's Twist". With their second single, The Cupids enjoyed a big hit with "Brenda" (first issued on AANKO, then leased to K-C Records) but their career came to a sudden halt with the death of Lenny Colton, their lead singer. He died by accident while sleeping in his car of carbon monoxide. This caused hardly a bother to their record company. Henry Jenzen replaced Colton as lead singer after his death.
The record started to make some noise so the record company decided to send out another group in the Cupids place. The Camelots, David Nicholas, Milton Pratt, Joe Mercede, Elijah Summers, and Julius Williams from Coney Island recorded in the same time for the Jerome brothers (Steve & Bill) for AANKO Records. Typical of the times, they simply took one of their other groups and gave them the name. So the Camelots went out doing shows as the Cupids, but didn't make the record.
The group got a free ride as the Cupids on the strength of "Brenda" but they were already quite popular as the Camelots and later did well as the Harps. A few months later despite the death of their lead singer, the remaining three original singers recruited a new singer. Henry Jensen took over as lead singer and the group recorded "Lorraine" b/w "Little Girl Of Mine" on MusicNote in 1963 and "Pretty-Baby" b/w "Lets Rock" on Time Square the next year.
- The Cupids (from Brooklyn),[12] doo-wop group. Another group, The Camelots (from Coney Island), performed as The Cupids, but were not the same group, the latter group Camelots/Cupids, like The Young Ones (from Brooklyn), The El Sierros (from The Bronx) and several other New York City groups were managed by Pete Schekeryk (né Petro Dmytro Schekeryk; 1942–2010), who also produced their recordings. Pete was later the manager and husband of folk singer Melanie Safka (born 1947). "Brenda" tracked at 60 on Billboard's "Hot 100," July 27, 1963.[13]
- Lenny Colton (Lead), Henry Jensen, Nicky Hughes, and Danny Hughes
- The group's Lead Singer (Lenny Colton) died[14] from carbon monoxide poisoning after falling asleep in his car in a snowstorm outside of Atlantic City just as "Brenda" was starting to soar on the charts in several Northeastern cities. Some believe that his death was actually a suicide caused by his loss of his girlfriend, Brenda.
- According to information found under the Times Square label, these titles were issued September 1964 and are a renumbered release after the label was sold.
- A further issue on Times Square 100, ’66 for these titles, is also released after the masters were sold.

Tax shelter schemes
[edit]- typical of shelters peddled by Harry Margolis, which were characterized by convoluted transfers of overvalued property rights, circular money movements among foreign trusts, delayed drafting, signing and backdating of documents, and client obliviousness to the financial realities of their investments.
- Part of Margolis' system was to design investment partnerships that, federal authorities alleged, would lend money to themselves in a Byzantine system of foreign corporations and banks. By moving money around, an impression was created that loans were being made. That created interest payments that tax shelter investors could then deduct.[22]
