Arista

Arista Records is an American record label that was founded in 1974 by Clive Davis as part of Columbia Pictures Industries . Davis had previously served as president of Columbia Records and CBS Records. He became a consultant to the music division of Columbia Pictures Industries , which consisted of "Bell Records" and its sub-labels. At the end of 1974, in association with Columbia Pictures Industries, he started Arista Records . Arista obtained the rights to the catalog of "Bell Music" and was able to release the artists of "Bell Records". The first success, in early 1975, was the single "Mandy" by Barry Manilow, which came from "Bell Records". It became a number 1 hit in the States and the accompanying album went platinum. In 1976 Manilow had another number 1 hit with "I Write the Songs". The Bay City Rollers had a #1 hit with "Saturday Night" and five consecutive gold albums on Arista.

Clive Davis signed New York rock poet Patti Smith in 1975, as well as Gil Scott-Heron and vocalist Eric Carmen who had a hit with "All By Myself". In 1978 the "Grateful Dead" joined the label.

Arista was acquired by BMG Entertainment in 1979. Clive Davis continued to run the company. In 1989 there was a country department, Arista Nashville.

In July 2000, LaFace Records merged with Arista and Antonio "LA" Reid succeeded founder Davis as Arista's president/CEO. Davis founded a new label, "J Records". LA Reid brought Avril Lavigne and P!nk to the label, among others; but he was also criticized for his exuberant spending, including a $100 million deal with Whitney Houston. In early 2004, Reid was fired.

After the merger of BMG Entertainment with Sony Music in August 2004, Arista belonged to Sony Music Entertainment. In August 2005, Arista was merged with J Records into the new "RCA Music Group", led by Clive Davis.

In the summer of 2011, the RCA Music Group went through a budget cut that saw the labels Arista, Jive and J Records disappear; only "RCA Records" remained. "Arista Nashville" continued to exist as a label under "Sony Music Nashville".

Arista was one of the best-selling labels with pop, soul and rock music. It had millions of hits with the likes of Santana, Whitney Houston, Snap!, Dido, Real McCoy and Avril Lavigne.

Arista Records is een Amerikaans platenlabel, dat in 1974 werd opgericht door Clive Davis als onderdeel van Columbia Pictures Industries. Davis was daarvoor president geweest van "Columbia Records" en "CBS Records". Hij werd adviseur bij de muziekafdeling van Columbia Pictures Industries, dat bestond uit "Bell Records" en haar sublabels. Eind 1974 startte hij, in samenwerking met "Columbia Pictures Industries", Arista Records op. Arista verkreeg de rechten op de catalogus van "Bell Music" en kon de artiesten van "Bell Records" uitbrengen. Het eerste succes, begin 1975, was de single "Mandy" van Barry Manilow, die van "Bell Records" overkwam. Het werd een nummer 1-hit in de States en het bijhorende album werd een platina plaat. In 1976 had Manilow nog een nummer 1-hit met "I Write the Songs". De Bay City Rollers hadden een nummer 1-hit met "Saturday Night" en vijf opeenvolgende gouden albums op Arista.

Clive Davis contracteerde in 1975 de New Yorkse rockdichteres Patti Smith, evenals Gil Scott-Heron en zanger Eric Carmen die een hit had met "All By Myself". In 1978 kwam de "Grateful Dead" bij het label.

Arista werd in 1979 overgenomen door BMG Entertainment. Clive Davis bleef het bedrijf leiden. In 1989 kwam er een countryafdeling, Arista Nashville.

In juli 2000 werd LaFace Records samengevoegd met Arista en Antonio "L.A." Reid volgde stichter Davis op als president/CEO van Arista. Davis richtte een nieuw label op, "J Records". L.A. Reid haalde onder meer Avril Lavigne en P!nk naar het label; maar hij kreeg ook kritiek vanwege zijn exuberante uitgaven, waaronder een deal van 100 miljoen dollar met Whitney Houston. Begin 2004 werd Reid ontslagen.

Na de fusie van BMG Entertainment met Sony Music in augustus 2004 behoorde Arista tot Sony Music Entertainment. In augustus 2005 werd Arista samen met J Records ondergebracht in de nieuwe "RCA Music Group", onder de leiding van Clive Davis.

In de zomer van 2011 voerde de RCA Music Group een besparingsronde door waardoor de labels Arista, Jive en J Records verdwenen; enkel "RCA Records" bleef behouden. "Arista Nashville" bleef wel bestaan als label onder "Sony Music Nashville".

Arista was een van de bestverkopende labels met pop-, soul- en rockmuziek. Het had miljoenensuccessen met onder meer Santana, Whitney Houston, Snap!, Dido, Real McCoy en Avril Lavigne.
