RIPTIDE ENTERS REP AGREEMENT WITH FUEL RECORDS

Fuel Records’ CEO Len Fico owns or has long-term licenses for thousands of tracks, including pop hits such as The Outsiders’ “Time Won’t Let Me,” Vanilla Fudge’s “You Keep Me Hanging On,” Bob Welch’s “Sentimental Lady” and The Buckingham’s “King of a Drag.” Recently, tracks from Fuel’s library were placed in the films American Gangster and Bee Movie.

“Rich [Goldman] and Bob [Kaminsky] and their team at RipTide Music have a great reputation, they’re respected in this industry, and they’re highly knowledgeable about the significance of these songs and this material,” says Fico. “More importantly, they’re music people…they know what these songs are about and what they mean to popular culture. They have strong credibility in matching these songs to the right media project, since they know this catalog and these artists so well.”
