Spring Records
Spring Records was an American record label established in New York City in 1969. It was formed out of an artist and production management company set up a few years earlier by Bill Spitalsky, Roy Rifkind and Julie Rifkind. The label name came from their surnames, "Sp" for Spitalsky and "ri" for Rifkind.[1] It was associated with the Polydor group.[2]
It primarily released soul and funk music,[3][4] and was described as "one of the most important soul labels of the 1970s".[1] The label released successful recordings by Millie Jackson, Joe Simon, The Fatback Band, Jocelyn Brown, Garland Green, and Paul Evans.[1][4][5]
Roy Rifkind and Julie Rifkind are the parents of Steve Rifkind, founder of Loud Records.
