Tempo Records (US)

Tempo Records (US)

Tempo Records was a mid-20th century United States based record label, headquartered in Hollywood, California. It was run by Irving B. Fogel. Tempo bridged the 78 rpm and 33-1/3 rpm generations, releasing discs in both formats. Artists who recorded for Tempo included jazz harpist/composer Robert Maxwell, clarinetist Sid Phillips, cornetist Doc Evans, organist Ben Light, Novachord and organ virtuoso Lloyd Sloop, and violinist Joe Venuti. This company worked with the Navy in the early 1960s.

Tempo was also the name of a semi-major gospel record label that was best-known in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They were, for at least part of their existence, the contemporary arm of Impact Records, known formally as Tempo/Impact. It was based in Nashville, Tennessee, and for a very brief time also had a base in Kansas City, Missouri; some artists appeared on the Tempo of Kansas City label.
