CBS Records occupies a unique position: it is the only major record company that believes in actions, not words, as witnessed by their contributions of several hundred thousand dHars over the past six years to black organizations de dicated to better social conditions for 22 million people. And why this unselfish regard for the welfare of others? For an explanation listen to the words of Le Baron Taylor, the firm's social conscious vice president for Black Music Marketing, who's credited with playing a key role in this billion dollar firm's philanthropic atti tude: "I am a strong believer in community relations. In my opinion when a company takes money out of a black community, there should be someone within the opera tion to make sure that X amount of dollars are filter ed back into it." Fortunately, he added, CBS ' records President Walter Yetnikoff and re cored division President Burce Lundvall are in agree ment with his philosophy. They realized the logic of hi& thinking. A, former member of the engineering staff at Wayne State University in Detroit, Taylor's budget for social grants give him a nationwide scope. Among the beneficiaries of CBS' largest have been the Black Congressional Caucus, NAACP, the Nat'l Urban League, 1 United Negro Col-, lege Fund, and PUSH. A longtime supporter of the Martin Luther King Center for Social Change in Atlanta, Ga., last Janu ary CBS donated a $50,000 check for its contiuous growth. For the past several years they've donated $50,000 to the scholarship fund of the Caucus. Constantly in touch with the leaders of these organizations, Taylor care fully screens requests for financial assistance. The company's contributions to minority groups are said to double that of all other re cored companies combined yearly. Recognized as one of the most knowledgeable black executives' in the record industry, the mild mannered Taylor is well schooled in eyery facet of the business. An on the air personality in Detroit, he was a producer and owner of his own lable, managed a Philadelphia station nd was an A&R director at Atlantic records before joining CBS six years ago. Of the ten associated labels distributed by the company the three black owned firms account for 50 of the gross. They are Philadelphia International, T-Neck owned by the Isley Brothers and Taboo, owned by West Coast entrepreneur Clarence Avant. Twenty five per cent of CBS' sales are due to black buyers. Defending the black market drvisom that exist in all record firms, as well as other consumer compan ies, Taylor refuted the notion that this represents another form of segrega tion. "It's needed. There's nothing wrong with black specialists dealing with a market that they best understand, and is differenl from others. "Can anyone doubt or question the expertise of a D. Parke Gibson, Eyre Saitch or Leroy Jeffries whose advice to their cli ents has resulted in increased employment of blacks." On the question of the disco fad, Taylor believes that it could possibly have a harmful effect on established artists such as Teddy Pendergrass, Aretha Frankin or Stevie- Wonder. Why? These performers sing great music and songs while disco is primarily based on a beat, not the lyrics. With a nationwide staff of 60, Taylor's division is responsible for the marketing of all black products, including promo tion, press, merchandising, artist development and community relations. The company's roster of artists include Johnny Mathis, Pen dergrass, Earth, Wind and Fire, The Emotions, Johnny Taylor, Minnie Riperton, Miles Davis, Her bie Hancock, Bob James and Ramsey Lewis.
