Steed Records
Steed Records was a record label founded by songwriter-record producer
Gulf+Western's Famous Music
Group after it absorbed Dot.
Steed's main artist was singer-songwriter
bubblegum pop in the late Sixties and early Seventies (although many of its releases were not bubblegum). When musical trends changed, Steed's sales fell off. Paramount Records took over the label with Famous Music
taking over distribution.
Jeff Barry discontinued Steed Records when he relocated to California in 1971. Kim's last two hits, "Rock Me Gently" and "Fire, Baby, I'm on Fire", appeared on Capitol Records in 1974. The Steed catalogue is today controlled by Universal Music Group.
