Development of The Label
In 1971, Ilene moved Bang's base of operations from New York City to Atlanta, Georgia. In the early years, Bang did its own distribution. In 1979, Bang was sold to CBS Records, kept its identity as part of the CBS Associated unit until it was absorbed in 1982 by CBS's Columbia Records unit. Over the years, two subsidiary labels were started: Shout Records and Bullet Records. While Sony Music owns the Bang Records catalog today, the Berns family still owns the music publishing operations. In 1979, Columbia Records turned over control of Neil Diamond's Bang master recordings to the artist himself, at the time one of the label's hottest stars, who has remixed and re-released them several times over the years. Some workers moved to Rapp Records. Also, Peabo Bryson was the only artist who released an album with Bullet. His recordings with Bullet is now owned by Capitol Records.

“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“The proper aim of education is to promote significant learning. Significant learning entails development. Development means successively asking broader and deeper questions of the relationship between oneself and the world. This is as true for first graders as graduate students, for fledging artists as graying accountants.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
