Boone Label Stresses ‘Jesus Music’

HOLLYWOOD – Pat Boone, together with Iry Kessler, former vice president of Liberty Records, has formed Lamb & Lion Records. The label will specialize in recording the music of the Jesus people.

MGM, where Boone was recording, has given him a waiver to record for his own label, the first two albums to be released are; “Pat Boone Sings the New Songs of the Jesus People,” and “Pat Boone Sings Golden Hymns.”

The company plans to promote its product, incorporating the author’s beliefs, through mail-order on radio, TV and in print media.

Boone said he developed the company because he discovered that “although young people are writing and even recording these songs, distribution has been next to impossible.” It is Boone’s feeling that companies are “afraid of the Jesus music because it’s too religious and the traditional religious music companies are afraid of it because it’s too contemporary.” [A note featured in the July 1, 1972, issue of CashBox Magazine]
