LIFESONG
RECORDS
Independent American label: Lifesong Records was owned by
singers / songwriters / producers Terry Cashman and Tommy West, and was named
after one of the albums they had made as a duo. It operated from 1975 into
the early '80s, though its output towards the end was sporadic, and it was more
successful in the States than over here; though Henry Gross (once, with
'Shannon'; 1976) and Dean Friedman (three times, with 'Woman of Mine', 'Lydia',
and 'Lucky Stars'; all 1978) took it into the British Singles Charts, which
isn't a bad hit ratio from nine singles. 'Lucky Stars' in fact got to
No.3. Lifesong was licensed to GTO on these islands, so wherever GTO went
Lifesong went: it started out under the Polydor umbrella, which explains the
injection-moulded label, and moved to CBS in 1978. Its catalogue
numbering series changed in the process, from ELS-45000 (these numbers were
those of the corresponding American issues) and ELS-3500 to
LS-400. Distributed By Polydor and GTO Records. Thanks to
