Paragon (5)

Christian label founded in 1975 by Bob MacKenzie (2) and William Gaither (2). The releases were distributed by Word, Inc. until 1980. Then a partnership with Zondervan Records was formed which purchased Benson Records. The distribution went over to Benson. In 1984, MacKenzie sold Paragon's interest in Benson to Zondervan, and the label reverted to simply Benson Records. See Paragon Records (5) for company roles related to this label.
