FM (6)

US label. Also appears as "FM Records". FM was a folk/jazz label founded in 1963 by two personal managers/producers, Monte Kay and Pete Kameron. Kay was the manager of Chris Connor and Herbie Mann, among others, and erstwhile husband of Diahann Carroll. Pete Kameron was the manager of the Weavers and an advisor of sorts to the Tarriers. Kay and Kameron formed a partnership called Village Planners Inc. and from this partnership they started FM Records. Kameron and Kay ended up being listed as producers on many of the FM albums, along with Alan Douglas (who also was responsible for the op-art record jackets). The output of FM was a mixture of jazz and folk releases. The label was distributed by Vee-Jay initially, and later by Roulette, before folding in 1965.
