This Thursday, July 9th, 2026, we celebrate one of the most influential record labels in music history—Atlantic Records.
Founded in 1947 by Ahmet Ertegun and Herb Abramson, Atlantic became a driving force in the evolution of rhythm and blues, soul, rock, pop, and jazz, helping launch and shape the careers of some of the greatest recording artists of the 20th century.
Throughout this special episode, we’ll explore the remarkable history of Atlantic Records and the visionary people behind its success. From the pioneering work of Ahmet Ertegun and legendary producer Jerry Wexler to the groundbreaking engineering innovations of Tom Dowd, Atlantic helped redefine how popular music was recorded, produced, and shared with audiences around the world.
We’ll also look at the important roles played by affiliated labels such as Atco Records and Stax Records, whose contributions helped expand Atlantic’s extraordinary musical legacy.
The soundtrack for this journey features an outstanding lineup of Atlantic recording artists, including Ray Charles, The Coasters, LaVern Baker, Aretha Franklin, Bobby Darin, The Rascals, Buffalo Springfield, Led Zeppelin, Yes, Roger Daltrey, Dusty Springfield, Julian Lennon, and many others. Together, these performers represent the remarkable diversity and lasting influence of one of the music industry’s most successful labels.
From rhythm and blues classics to arena rock masterpieces, Atlantic Records has spent nearly eight decades shaping the soundtrack of generations.
