Poetry in Motion: The Cadence Records Story

The Cadence Records label was founded in December 1952 in New York by arranger and bandleader Archie Bleyer, musical director for American radio and television personality Arthur Godfrey. The label was initially conceived as a vehicle to promote the career of Julius La Rosa, a resident singer on the Arthur Godfrey Show. Cadence Records shut its doors in 1964, a victim of the British invasion - but, as this compilation makes clear, the label represents an important slice of pop history at the quality end of the musical spectrum.
