MGM had some noteworthy recordings. It was the first record label to have a soundtrack LP of a movie, which was "Singing in the Rain." Another milestone was the music of German composer and orchestra leader Otto Cesana. The music was an instant hit with radio stations in the United States in the late '40s and into the early '60s. The big production-music sound of Cesana's music would introduce "easy listening" record shows.
Actually, it was "Till the Clouds Roll By" (1946) that marked MGM Records first "soundtrack" release. By the time "Singing in the Rain" came out in 1952 the label had produced a dozen such albums including the million-seller "Show Boat" in 1951. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FrontRowCentre ( talk • contribs) 20:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
MGM Records is defunct. MGM Music was founded by MGM in 1986 to manage the music and music publishing rights which MGM owns. This includes the UA and Orion film libraries. The pre-1986 MGM film output is owned by Time Warner which licensed the music to Rhino Entertainment. The non-soundtrack MGM Records catalog is owned by Universal Music Group. So MGM Music is a separate company not related whatsoever to MGM Records despite its common origin. Non-cited material which does not support this info has been deleted.
