SOLAR Records: Pioneers of R&B and Funk Music
Sound of LA records, also known as SOLAR, was one of the most influential record labels in the world of R&B and funk music during the 1980s.
Sound of LA Records: The Legacy of SOLAR
![SOLAR](https://i0.wp.com/stmdailynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Solarlogo.jpg?resize=350%2C192&ssl=1)
Sound of LA records, widely known as SOLAR, stands as one of the most influential record labels in the world of R&B and funk music during the 1980s. Founded by visionary executives Dick Griffey and Don Cornelius in 1977, SOLAR played an instrumental role in launching the careers of many legendary artists and producing some of the biggest hits of the era.
Shalamar: The Pioneers of SOLAR’s Success
SOLAR’s first major breakthrough arrived with the formation of the group Shalamar in 1977. Created by Griffey and Cornelius, Shalamar quickly became a sensation. Their debut album “Uptown Festival,” released in 1977, featured the hit single “The Second Time Around.” Throughout the 1980s, Shalamar continued to dominate the charts with timeless tracks such as “A Night to Remember,” “Dead Giveaway,” and “Dancing in the Sheets.”
The Whispers: A Renaissance of R&B Hits
Another group that flourished under SOLAR’s banner was The Whispers. Although they had been active since the late 1960s, it was during their time with SOLAR that The Whispers experienced a renaissance in their career. They produced some of their most memorable hits, including “And the Beat Goes On,” “Rock Steady,” and “It’s a Love Thing,” which remain staples of R&B music to this day.
Lakeside: Funk Pioneers
Formed in 1969, Lakeside found unprecedented success with SOLAR. Their hit single “Fantastic Voyage” became an anthem of the R&B and funk scene. Lakeside’s legacy includes a series of energetic and chart-topping singles like “Raid,” “Outrageous,” and “Your Love is on the One,” showcasing their distinct sound and infectious rhythms.
Midnight Star: Synth-Driven Success
Midnight Star, established in 1976, also thrived under the SOLAR umbrella. Their innovative use of synthesizers and electronic elements set them apart. The group achieved significant success with hits such as “Freak-A-Zoid,” “No Parking on the Dance Floor,” “Operator,” and “Midas Touch,” solidifying their place in the annals of funk and electro music history.
Launching Other Major Bands and Solo Careers: The Deele, Klymaxx, and The S.O.S. Band
SOLAR was also a launching pad for several solo careers. The Deele, featuring future superstars Babyface and LA Reid, first gained recognition under SOLAR. Similarly, Klymaxx and The S.O.S. Band benefited from SOLAR’s nurturing environment. The S.O.S. Band’s “Take Your Time (Do It Right)” became a major hit, leading to a succession of successful singles throughout the 1980s.
The Decline and Lasting Legacy
Despite its monumental impact during the 1980s, SOLAR struggled to adapt to the changing music industry of the 1990s. The label was eventually sold to MCA Records in the early 1990s. However, the legacy of SOLAR’s innovation and influence continues to resonate. The artists and music produced under SOLAR have left an indelible mark on the music industry, influencing countless musicians and genres.
Conclusion
In its relatively short lifespan, Sound of LA records, or SOLAR, carved out a significant chapter in the history of R&B and funk music. From Shalamar’s infectious melodies to The Whispers’ soulful ballads, from the funk-infused tracks of Lakeside to the electronic innovations of Midnight Star, SOLAR’s contributions to music are undeniable. The label’s influence endures, a testament to its role as a beacon of creativity and talent in the music world.
