BUDDAH RECORDS
 
 
Buddah Records  (later known as Buddha Records) was founded in 1967 in New York City.  The label was born out of Kama Sutra Records, an MGM Records-distributed label, which remained a key imprint following Buddah’s founding.  Buddah handled a variety of music genres, including bubblegum pop (the Ohio Express and the 1910 Fruitgum Company), folk-rock (Melanie), experimental music (Captain Beefheart), and soul (Gladys Knight & the Pips).  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Ginger Bianco and Carol MacDonald of Goldie and the Gingerbreads formed a second all-woman rock band in 1972 called Isis.  This band also had a strong horn section.  They were signed to Buddah Records in 1973 and released two well-received albums plus a third for United Artists Records, though they failed to reach a wide audience.
