Groove Records was a subsidiary of RCA Victor, founded by Billboard writer Bob Rolontz in 1953 as a rhythm and blues label.[1] The label tried hard to break into the R&B market; Piano Red had its first hit but Mickey & Sylvia was Groove's first big seller. Groove also recorded King Curtis, Arthur Crudup, Brook Benton and George Benson. Following Mickey & Sylvia's big hit "Love Is Strange" in 1957, Groove was deactivated and the label's remaining artists switched over to the RCA Victor Vik subsidiary.[2]

In 1961, Groove was revived as a budget singles label primarily for country music, with a few pop and R&B artists.[3] The label was given a full revival in 1963.[4] Artists who recorded for the later incarnation of Groove included Anthony Swete,[5] Sonny James, Justin Tubb, Marty Paich, Johnny Nash, Jack Scott, Johnnie Ray, Skip Battin, and Charlie Rich.[6] This version of the Groove label was dissolved in 1965.
