More on 20th Century Records
Description from Wikipedia:
20th Century Records, also known as 20th Fox Records and 20th Century-Fox Records, began in 1958 was a subsidiary of film studio 20th Century Fox. In 1963 20th Fox Records became 20th Century-Fox Records. In 1972 the name changed to 20th Century Records. The first three acts signed to the 20th Century label were The DeFranco Family, Maureen McGovern, and Barry White; however, the Brighter Side of Darkness gave the newly renamed label their first hit record in 1973 with "Love Jones". The label also had major hits with Carl Douglas (best known for the song "Kung Fu Fighting"), Edwin Starr, Stephanie Mills and the Star Wars soundtrack in 1977.
The company also released the Harry Simeone Chorale's recording of "Little Drummer Boy" and the album on which it was first featured, Sing We Now of Christmas, later reissued as The Little Drummer Boy. It became the best selling Christmas album ever. The rights were later acquired by PolyGram, which released it on CD in 1988, on the Casablanca Records label.
The label launched its own subsidiary called Chi Sound Records for releasing disco records. It originally self-distributed its records, but between 1967 and 1970 its releases were distributed by ABC Records. RCA took over distribution in 1978.
The label was active until 1981, being sold to PolyGram in early 1982.
It was relaunched in 1991 under 2 labels. 20th Century Fox Film Scores, which was mainly soundtracks, and Fox Records as a standard label with artists such as Jamie Foxx. The labels folded several years later. Both were distributed by Arista Records.
