Daisy

Daisy Records was founded in 1969 by music producer and entrepreneur Bob Dorough, initially focusing on jazz and children's music. The label gained prominence in the 1970s with its innovative approach to educational music, particularly through the "Schoolhouse Rock!" series, which blended catchy tunes with educational content. Notable artists associated with Daisy include Dorough himself, as well as artists like Jack Sheldon and Grady Tate, who contributed to the label's diverse catalog. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Daisy expanded its offerings to include pop and rock genres, though it remained primarily known for its educational and children's music. The label's legacy is marked by its influence on music education, with "Schoolhouse Rock!" becoming a cultural touchstone that continues to be referenced in popular media. Daisy Records remains a significant part of the history of educational music, celebrated for its creative contributions to both children’s entertainment and the broader music landscape.
