  • Horizon Records was started as a folk and blues record label by Dave Hubert in 1960. It was originally distributed by World Pacific Records. When Vee-Jay Records acquired World Pacific in 1963, it also took over the distribution of Horizon. From 1974-1978 the label became a subsidiary imprint of A&M Records, primarily for issuing the music of jazz artists. In 1979, before A&M folded Horizon the first time, the label struck gold with the debut releases of Brenda Russell and the Yellow Magic Orchestra. By 1980, the label disappeared. In 1984, A&M went into a shaky distribution deal with Word Distribution by giving more powerful distribution for Word's labels like Myrrh, Word, and Exit. Horizon was reactivated with its 1979 artwork intact as a Christian label with The Imperials, while Myrrh artist Amy Grant was signed over to A&M. By 1987, Horizon had disappeared a second time.
