Rocky Road Records

Started life in 1971 as the Carousel (3) label, but changed their name to Rocky Road shortly after releasing their first hit record, due to a conflict in label names that surfaced when the hit record appeared. The label was owned by Marc Gordon (2), a veteran in the music business who had worked for years at Motown, and distributed by Bell Records.. The label had a limited roster of artists signed to them, the most notable being Climax (6) and Al Wilson, but they also released singles by the Grasshoppers, Viva, Holly Sherwood, Sugar, Johnny Stevenson, the Dream Machine, Sweet Grass, and Formula IV. Rocky Road lasted until 1975, when Climax disbanded.
