Steed Records

Steed Records

Steed Records was a record label founded by songwriter-record producer Jeff Barry in 1967 in New York City. The label was active until 1971. It was first distributed by Dot Records, then by Gulf + Western's Famous Music Group after it absorbed Dot.

Steed's main artist was singer-songwriter Andy Kim, whose biggest hit for the label was "Baby, I Love You" (co-written and produced by Barry) in 1969. Other artists on the label included Robin McNamara ("Lay a Little Lovin' On Me") and The Illusion ("Did You See Her Eyes"). Barry and Kim's songwriting partnership was a cornerstone of the label's fortunes. Steed Records rode the wave of bubblegum pop in the late Sixties and early Seventies, but when musical trends changed, Steed's sales fell off.

Jeff Barry discontinued Steed Records when he relocated to California in 1971. Kim's last hit, "Rock Me Gently", appeared on Capitol Records in 1974. The Steed catalogue is today controlled by Universal Music Group.
