The Majors

Wednesday, March 28, 2007

Janis Joplin, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday and Michael Jackson are all part of the history of Columbia Records, one of the world's most legendary major labels. We cover its highs and lows with Gary Marmorstein, the author of "The Label: The Story of Columbia Records." His book draws on unique access to the company's archives -- memos, personal correspondence, recording contracts, sales reports and job sheets, and more.
