Cotillion Records was a subsidiary of Atlantic Records (from 1971 part of WEA) and was active from 1968 through 1985. The label was formed as an outlet for soul, R&B, funk, pop, and jazz.[1] Its first single, Otis Clay's version of "She's About a Mover", reached the R&B charts. Cotillion's catalog quickly expanded to include progressive rock, folk-rock, gospel, jazz and comedy. In 1976, the label started focusing on disco and R&B. At that point, Cotillion's catalog albums outside those genres were reissued on Atlantic.[2]
Among its acts were the post-Curtis Mayfield Impressions; Slave; Brook Benton; Sister Sledge; Stacy Lattisaw; The Fatback Band; Young-Holt Unlimited; Freddie King; Jean Knight; Mass Production; Garland Green; The Dynamics; The Fabulous Counts
