Does anyone know anything about the rumors that MCA is affiliated with the Gambino family? I have heard from potentially unreliable sources that Salvatore Pisello and Joseph Isgro, two associates of the Gambino mob, worked at MCA. If someone could confirm/deny this, readers would appreciate it.

[edit] Proposed merge

I am unconvinced of the need & appopriateness of the proposed merge of the articles on Music Corporation of America and Universal Music Group. There is litte overlap in the articles, and the subjects have significant seperate history. -- Infrogmation 8 July 2005 13:33 (UTC)

I agree They shouldn't be merged warpozio 9 July 2005 11:10 (UTC)
I also agree. In addition, if someone wishes to merge this, or any page, typing "this page should be merged" on the top of the article isn't the way to do it. JDoorjam 14:27, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
Infrogmation, they should be merged because UMG would exist if it wasn't for MCA. Before it was known as UMG, it was MCA. 24.7.217.221 19:06, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
...and before it was MCA Records, it was American Decca. So what? MCA was a talent agency originally long before it entered the recorded music business. Steelbeard1 19:11, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] MCA Records

MCA Records currently redirects here. But I think there should be a seperare article. Who else agrees with me? FMAFan1990 22:36, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I do. MCA Records began outside the USA in 1968 to release MCA-owned Uni, Decca and Kapp label material outside North America. The MCA Records company in the U.S. began in 1971 with the consolidation of the three labels and the first U.S. MCA label release was "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John.

I created a separate MCA Records article. Steelbeard1 17:13, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
