Windstar Records
Windsong Records is a record label based in Snowmass, Colorado, that was founded by John Denver in 1976.
The label primarily caters to folk music artists and bands, and has signed acts such as Denver, Starland Vocal Band, Maxine Nightingale, Johnny's Dance Band, Nanette Mancini, and Tom Crum. Founded as a subsidiary of RCA Records under the name Windsong Records, Windstar became an independent label in 1986, when RCA and Denver parted. Denver and RCA were not on particularly good terms towards the end of their partnership due to a change in management at RCA with executives not particularly interested in Denver's genre of music. Also, after being purchased by General Electric in 1985, RCA decided to part ways with Denver after what some would consider his controversial song "What Are We Making Weapons For " appeared on his RCA labelled album One World.
