American Records was founded in 1957 by Leonard Zimmer. The label based
in both New York City and Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Late 1966, the label
moved to Grand Forks, North Dakota.
The most popular artists for the label were the duo of Santo & Johnny and singer Linda Scott. After the label went dormant in 1968, the president, Leonard Zimmer, turned the label over, in essence, to Joey Welz. (Welz had a minor hit on the label in 1964). The label was dormant to around 1995. In 1995, Welz started up X-Bat Records, under which he reactivated the Canadian American label, and issued a few releases of old songs from the archives. |
