RCA Records is a American label whose initial ones mean “Radio Corporation America off”. Created in 1929 thanks to the repurchase of the Victor recording companies and Bluebird, it was already dominant in the Années 1940 with artists like Artie Shaw or Duke Ellington but became really important in the Années 1950 with the explosion of the Rock “roll by signing Little Richard but especially by discharging Elvis Presley discs Sun. RCA followed then the majority of the musical movements: the folk, the country (Chet Atkins, Harry Belafonte), pop (The Monkees, The Mamas & The Dads), psychedelic (Jefferson Airplane) and also signing Diana Ross, Eurythmics or David Bowie. In 1985, the firm repurchases Ariola and Arista. In all RCA will have published more than 50 individual albums and 100 n°1 with the the United States and the the United Kingdom before becoming in 1985 a share of the major Sony-BMG.
