STREET DATE I HISTORY: Warner Bros. Records was founded on 4/7/09 March 19, 1958, as a way to corral the records of the stars of the movie and television company, beginning with Tab Hunter and including Connie Stevens. The label enjoyed success with The Everly Brothers, Peter, Paul & Mary, and Petula Clark, but it was in the late ’60s that Warner Bros. (with Reprise Records) truly began its rise to the top. Highly respected artists such as Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young helped estab- lish the foundation upon which the company became a leader in music as well as in the music industry.
