When Richard Griffey took charge of Soul Train Records in 1978, the label was an underperforming spin-off of the dance-driven TV show, Soul Train. Griffey, who died Friday in Los Angeles from complications following heart surgery at the age of 71, renamed the label Solar, an acronym for "Sounds of Los Angeles Records," and under Griffey's leadership, the label became a hit factory that pumped out laid-back but efficient dance and radio hits.

Born in Nashville in 1938, Griffey was a concert promoter in the 1960s and later a talent coordinator for Soul Train. Solar's signature songs were clearly a product of that television show, and provided the soundtrack to many a romantic meeting on the dance floor (or what comes after): curtains of synths driven by funk bass lines and a simple beat. The label's early hits included "And The Beat Goes On" by the Whispers (which Griffey helped to write and produce), "Fantastic Voyage" by Lakeside, and "Second Time Around" by Shalamar.

These songs and others helped establish a sound of California R&B that carried forward into the late '80s and the hip hop sound of the mid-'90s (all three of those late '70s hits were later sampled by major rap acts). Solar was also the setting for the meeting of two more R&B hit makers: Antonio "L.A." Reid and Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds were members of the Solar-signed group the Deele before breaking out on their own to become two of the biggest forces behind '90s R&B

Spoonie Gee, one of the earliest pioneers of rap music, made history by becoming the only rap artist to have deals with three record labels in a single year by 1980. Despite his brief stay at Sugar Hill Records, he left a significant impact, especially with his collaboration with The Sequence on "Monster Jam." Interestingly, Spoonie Gee suffered from severe stage fright, so much so that he would sometimes perform with his eyes closed to manage his anxiety when performing in large venues
