Atlanta Artists is a sub-label of Polygram Records , found by Larry Blackmon from the group Cameo. After Cameo's album , Knights of the Soundtable from 1981 , Larry took the decision to pace down the group from 10 members to a 5-member unit. This change of strategy was made as a result of the economical situation within the music industry at that time. Larry's chosen direction had Cameo locate for a new area , and moved from New York to Atlanta, Georgia.
With their core of 5 members, they recorded the album Alligator Woman which was a fusion of funk , new wave and a synthesizer-driven sound , compared to their previous albums which had more horn-arrangements. The album Style followed in 1983 and was the first album on the list of releases on Atlanta Artists.
Ca$hflow and Barbara Mitchell ( formely in the group High Inergy ) signed and released for the label , while Larry produced more artists on other labels :
- Tomi Jenkins - 1989 / Elektra
- Bobby Brown - 1986 / MCA
- The Reddings - 1985 / Polydor
- George Howard - 1990 / GRP
During Cameo's popular concert-tours in the UK , Ca$hflow traveled along with them as support-act.
Polygram ended to distribute Atlanta Artists-releases around 1991 , with the last few productions as a combination with Mercury Records.
