Canaan Records is a Christian record label and is a subsidiary of Word Entertainment. It was started in 1965 by founder Marvin Norcross as a vehicle for the label's Southern Gospel quartets. Their biggest artist to date is the Happy Goodman Family. After being absent from the southern gospel music industry for several years, Word Entertainment revived the Canaan Records label in 2007, placing Dave Clark as the General Manager of the label and announcing Canaan's relaunch on June 6, 2007. The first group to sign with the label after the relaunch was southern gospel veteran group, The Hoppers, who released their first Canaan Records album, ''The Ride'' on September 4, 2007. Early labels were red with black print. Later, the label changed to black with a color logo and a distinctive vertical row of colored dots down the middle of the label. In the mid-1980s, the label changed to a full color label showing a desert town (presumably Canaan) at sunset, with colors fading from green to yellow to orange in the sky, and tones of brown for the sand. For the 2007 relaunch of Canaan Records, the logo was changed to display the word "Canaan" in a script-style font with the word "RECORDS" below in a sans-serif font, with the label name surrounded on either side by arching curves, implying an oval shape around the words. In 2009 Word Records again closed the doors on Canaan Records; Word continues to release "The Canaan Vault" collection on iTunes; remastered past recordings from the 1960s, '70s and '80s strictly for digital download. ==Select Canaan artists== * Wendy Bagwell and the Sunliters * The Happy Goodman Family 1965-1983 * Rusty Goodman 1977-1985 * Vestal Goodman * Tanya Goodman Sykes * The Inspirations * Teddy Huffam and The Gems * The Plainsmen Quartet * The Florida Boys * The Lefevres * The Rebels * The Couriers Quartet * The Hemphills * The Cathedrals * The Rex Nelon Singers (later called The Nelons) * Charles Johnson and The Revivers * Jimmie Davis * The Hoppers 2007-2008 * Kim Hopper 2008 * Priority Quartet * Mike And Kelly Bowling 2008 * Lefevre Quartet 2008 * Lewis Family * The Talleys 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canaan Records」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
