Founded
in 1974 by record executive, Cecil Scaife, Music Incorporated
remains one of the strongest independent record label in Nashville.
Using the Songs of Faith label as its platform, Music Incorporated
has expanded its catalog to include one of the largest privately
held Christmas music catalogs in the country. And in 1999, the
company established its book imprint, Specialty Music, Inc.,
and released the first in a series of children’s book and tape products.
Music Incorporated is still the #1 producer of new budget
Christmas music in America today. The three Christmas labels, Halo,
Classic Christmas and Hidden Stars, cover the gamut
of musical tastes ranging from traditional sing along melodies,
such as Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, to carols
of the season, like Silent Night and Away in a Manger. The holiday
roster includes pop favorites, such as, Rockin’ Around the Christmas
Tree, Little Drummer Boy and White Christmas. With all-star performances
by The Jordanaires, The William Loose Orchestra and the Cathedral
Choir, there is truly something for everyone.
The Gospel Time label features a virtual Who’s Who of America’s
most loved Southern White Gospel groups performing such evergreen
titles as Jesus Loves Me, Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art and
Softy and Tenderly. Wally Flower and the Oak Ridge Quartet, Jake
Hess and the Jordanaires, J.D. Sumner and the Stamps, The Imperials,
The Speer Family and The Blackwood Brothers are among the Gospel
Music Association’s newest inductees featured in this treasured
collection of hymns and religious melodies.
Specialty
Music, Inc., is the imprint used for the children’s book and
tape catalog. It’s first release, ROAD TRIP SURVIVAL KIT,
has been well received the book
and music industry, as well as, the educational community. The
24 page colorfully illustrated book comes with a cassette filled
