[edit] MCA Records artists

This list is going to be a long one, but I hope one can be started. Country music artists can be listed on MCA Nashville Records. Of course, there will be overlap with the lists for artists on Decca Records, Kapp Records and Uni Records. Steelbeard1 16:08, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

I started the list. Again, country music artists should be listed in MCA Nashville Records. Steelbeard1 16:38, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

How do we deal with crossover artists such as Brenda Lee? As a Decca artist, she had hits on both the pop and country charts. As an MCA artist, she was mainly on the country charts. Steelbeard1 00:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I decided to list Brenda Lee in MCA Nashville Records. Steelbeard1 15:02, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Someone is sneaking MCA Nashville artists in this list. The rule is that if an artist worked mostly out of MCA Records' Nashville office, the artist is listed in the MCA Nashville artist list. If not (such as with Olivia Newton-John who is a pop artist with many crossover country hits) then it can be listed in the main MCA Records list. Steelbeard1 11:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] When exactly was MCA Music Entertainment Group founded

While MCA Records was founded in 1968, I am not so sure of when MCA Music Entertainment Group was officially created as a holding company for MCA's labels. Could anyone help me in locating the exact date? FMAFan1990 03:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I believe it was around 1990 which was the year MCA acquired GRP Records and Geffen Records. Unlike previous MCA acquisitions, the GRP and Geffen labels kept their identities. Steelbeard1 03:31, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
