Steed Records
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steed Records was a record label founded by songwriter-record producer Jeff Barry in the mid-1960s in New York City. The label was active from 1967 to 1971, and it was distributed by Gulf and Western's Famous Music Group.
Steed's main artist was singer-songwriter Andy Kim, whose biggest hit for the label was "Baby, I Love You" (co-written and produced by Jeff) in 1969. Other artists on the label included Robin McNamara ("Lay a Little Lovin' On Me") and The Illusion. Barry and Kim's songwriting partnership was also a cornerstone of the label's fortunes. Steed Records rode the wave of bubblegum pop in the late Sixties and early Seventies, but when musical trends changed, Steed's sales fell off. Jeff Barry discontinued Steed Records when he relocated to California in 1971.
