"PIPELINE" RIDES THE WAVE

Primary Wave is hanging 10 in a gnarly acquisition that includes the ultimate surf instrumental, “Pipeline.”

Regent Music Corp. and Jewel Music Publishing Co., founded in the famed Brill Building by Gene Goodman (pictured) and Harry Goodman, are now part of the Primary Wave empire. Copyrights include the Spiral Starecase hit “More Today Than Yesterday,” Jackie Wilson’s immortal “Lonely Teardrops,” folk standard “Abraham, Martin and John” and the oft-sampled “Apache.”

“With Tin Pan Alley roots, collections of jazz, soul, R&B, surf and pop gems and iconic holiday standards [“Do You Hear What I Hear,” “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus"] covered by artists crossing all genres, the Regent and Jewel catalogs are a living history of diversity in music,” said Amy Ortner, General Counsel at Primary Wave Music. “We are truly honored to be entrusted with these great works and inspired to build on a remarkable 86 years of success.”
