Spirit

Spirit Records, founded in 1967 by the American rock band Spirit, emerged as a significant label during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Initially associated with the psychedelic rock and progressive rock genres, the label was instrumental in promoting the band's innovative sound, which blended rock, jazz, and folk influences. Notable artists associated with Spirit Records included the band Spirit itself, known for hits like "I Got a Line on You," and other acts that explored similar musical territories. The label's most prominent era coincided with the band's peak popularity, but it struggled to maintain its foothold in the competitive music industry as the 1970s progressed. Despite its relatively short-lived prominence, Spirit Records contributed to the evolution of rock music and is remembered for its role in fostering artistic creativity. The label's legacy endures through its influence on subsequent generations of musicians and its representation of a transformative period in music history.
