History
History
1966 saw GNP Crescendo make a marketing, packaging, and distribution deal with Accent for Buddy Merrill's guitar albums, following a tip that Merrill's recordings were selling well as a result of in-store plays. In 1967 Accent made the decision to focus on country music. The label promoted a self-learn course for pop singers in 1971. Seely remained president until at least 2006. Accent Records owned the Boomerang Music and S&R Music publishing companies.
