It’s the feeling that comes from an unexpected discovery in CA Labs, the chorus of friendly faces in the new house common rooms, or instructors from two disciplines working together to develop and teach a new course. It is the spark of encouragement that illuminates a new path, or a lifelong pursuit — a spark that, fanned by tremendous support over these past few years, is growing into a blaze.

    Journal of the Music & Entertainment Industry Educators Association Volume 12, Number 1 (2012) Bruce Ronkin, Editor Northeastern University Published with Support from The 1969 Creedence Clearwater Revival Recording Contract and How it Shaped the Future of the Group and its Members Hank Bordowitz Bordowitz Media Werx Bergen Community College By 1969, the record business had been around in some way, shape, or form for nearly eighty years. For an octogenarian, it had never been healthier. A study commissioned by John Wiley of Columbia Records said that the business had grown 250 percent in the decade between 1955 and 1965. It predicted the record business would double in size again within the next decade. “The end of the upward trend is not yet in sight,” added Wiley. “Our future has never held more promise” (Rood 1965). With the passing of rock and roll into just rock, the day of the mu- sic business robber barons had begun to fade. The previous decade saw musicians with massive hit records living in poverty, contracted to virtual slavery as recording artists. As Etta James once said, “I…started my show business life living in a private hotel where you could cook. Other entertainers were there, like Curtis Mayfield. Ev- erybody lived in this one hotel. I was the one who had the kitchen. We used to put all our money together to eat. At that time, we would get two cents, three cents, five cents for bottles and at the end of the day we would get our money together and we’d get some food and cook it.
