Portrait was launched in 1976 as an Epic subsidiary. In 1978, the floundering
label was ended with it's only moneymaker Heart moving over to the parent
label Epic. Portrait was re-launched again in 1982, this time by CBS/Columbia,
with a more current artist roster consisting of Cyndi Lauper, Altered Images
and Sade. The label was stopped again in 1986 with some artists moving
over to CBS Associated.
CBS re-re launched Portrait again in 1988 as a Jazz label (ending by 1990). Epic took another stab at it in 1992 - gone by 1994. AGAIN with CBS in 1998. This time as a Heavy Metal label and mercifully put to rest by 2002. |
