Larkin Arnold: A Capitol Investment
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, April 1978
LET'S BE honest. A couple of years or so back and if you mentioned the name of Capitol Records, you thought of Glen Campbell, the Beatles, a string of Country & Western artists and aside from the occasional R&B single success, only Nancy Wilson and the late Nat King Cole really represented our music within the company.
