Over the next few years, it would be involved in a small number of productions. But, in 1971 the movie business was kind of old-hat, music was where it was at, and so GSF Records, a well-funded label, headed by Larry Newton was formed. Today Newton is largely remembered for his attempts to prevent Louis Armstrong from recording 'What A Wonderful World' but that didn't stop him from growing ABC from a second division company to an industry leader. As he approached his 52nd birthday he was unveiled as GSF Records' president a full-service music company, involved in records and publishing across all genres. Through a joint venture with drummer Bernard Purdie the label targeted the R\u0026amp;B charts and soul \u0026amp; funk dominated GSF's release schedule.Black music ruled and this was reinforced by the hiring of Lloyd Price as head of A\u0026amp;R (veteran R\u0026amp;B star), and producers George Kerr (All-Platinum), Mickey Stevenson (Motown) and Jerry 'Swamp Dogg' Williams. No wonder then, unintentional as it was, that GSF left behind such an extraordinary legacy of rare soul treasures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51620196385063,"sku":"5060767445891","price":29.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4409664-3337831_f6e324c8-5bef-46d0-8c39-bad056a1bd3b.jpg?v=1783688269","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/various-artists-gsf-free-soul-vinyl","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
