{{More citations needed|date=December 2009}} '''Wing Records''' was a [[record label]] [[subsidiary]] of [[Mercury Records]] founded in 1955,<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BRwEAAAAMBAJ&q=wing+records+mercury&pg=PA24 |title=Billboard - Google Books |date=1955-05-07 |access-date=2011-07-29}}</ref> that found its greatest success during the late 1950s. In 1986, the label was revived by Mercury's parent company, [[PolyGram]]<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=dywEAAAAMBAJ&q=wing+%2B+polygram&pg=PA90 |title=Vibe - Google Books |access-date=2011-07-29}}</ref> and the label had brief success with [[R&B]] singers [[Vanessa L. Williams|Vanessa Williams]], Lace, [[Tony! Toni! Toné!]], Channel 2, and [[Brian McKnight]]. McKnight was signed to Wing in 1989, but the album he recorded (his 1992 self-titled debut) was not released on the label. Instead, it was issued on Mercury. [[Jerry Murad's Harmonicats]] were on Wing soon after quitting [[Vitacoustic Records]] in 1948. In 1996, Wing closed and its remaining artists (Vanessa Williams & Tony! Toni! Toné!) were moved to Mercury.
