Tempo Records (US)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tempo Records was a mid-20th century United States based record label, headquartered in Hollywood, California. It was run by Irving B. Fogel. This company worked with the Navy in the early 1960s.

Tempo was also the name of a semi-major gospel record label that was best-known in the late 1960's and early 1970's. They were, for at least part of their existence, the contemporary arm of Impact Records, known formally as Tempo/Impact. It was based in Nashville, Tennessee, and for a very brief time also had a base in Kansas City, Missouri; some artists appeared on the Tempo of Kansas City label.
