Editing ABC Records (section)

==Management of ABC Records catalog today==
The catalogs of ABC Records and its sub-labels are now controlled by Universal Music Group. UMG also distributes Disney Music Group, which is owned by ABC's current parent, [[The Walt Disney Company]], with the following exceptions:
* The [[Paul Anka]] ABC-Paramount catalog is controlled by Anka himself. Distribution is done by [[Universal Music Enterprises]] and its Canadian counterpart UMusic.
* The [[Jim Croce]] catalog is controlled by the Croce estate and R2M Music, and is distributed by [[BMG Rights Management]].
* The [[Ray Charles]] catalog is controlled by the Charles estate and is currently licensed to [[Concord Records]]. Concord's recordings are distributed by UMG.
* The [[Amazing Rhythm Aces]] catalog and the recordings that former [[The 5th Dimension|5th Dimension]] members [[Marilyn McCoo]] and [[Billy Davis Jr.]] made for ABC are controlled by Sony Music.
* [[Lawrence Welk]] acquired his Dot recordings (prior to ABC acquiring the label) which were reissued on his [[Ranwood Records]] label.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qwoEAAAAMBAJ&q=%22ranwood+to+release+21+Welk+top+sellers%22&pg=PA3|title=Ranwood to Release 21 Welk Top Sellers |magazine=Billboard |date=April 20, 1968 |access-date=September 9, 2011}}</ref> Like Concord, Ranwood is also distributed by UMG.
