Even though the A&M label pretty much bit the big one when Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss sold out to Polygram around 20 years ago they had a pretty impressive run for an independent label started in his garage by a Jewish kid who wanted to play mariachi music.
I'd start posting YouTube links to artists that A&M promoted, but YT is blocked from here.
Oh, and RACK Jerry Moss not only for the greatest racehorse in history, but the best named racehorse.
