Windstar Records


Windstar Records is a record label based in Snowmass, Colorado, 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 and Nanette Mancini thereof, 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 good terms towards the end of their partnership due to a change in management at RCA, with its executives no longer interested in Denver's genre of music. Also, after being purchased by General Electric in 1985, RCA decided to part ways with Denver after his song "What Are We Making Weapons For " appeared on his last RCA labelled album One World.
