History

1966 saw GNP Crescendo make a marketing, packaging, and distribution deal with Accent for Buddy Merrill's guitar albums,^[5] following a tip that Merrill's recordings were selling well as a result of in-store plays.^[6]

In 1967 Accent made the decision to focus on country music.^[2]

The label promoted a self-learn course for pop singers in 1971.^[7]

Seely remained president until at least 2006.^[8] Accent Records owned the Boomerang Music and S&R Music publishing companies.^[2]
