Light died on July 31, 1978.Įnoch Light & The Light Brigade - Provocative Stereo Sounds of Our TimeĠ1. His activity slowed in the '70s, though he did continue to record. Light continued working, both as an arranger/conductor and the head of Project 3 Records. By 1970, the label was no longer profitable and MCA shut it down. MCA made Command into a budget label, pressing the albums on poor vinyl and putting them into discount stores. After 1965, Command was bought out by ABC Records, who in turn was quickly bought out by MCA Records. While he was the head of the label, he recorded classical albums, big-band records, and collections of film themes. Light remained the managing director of Command until 1965. During this time, Light and Command also pioneered the use of using 35mm film as a recording method instead of tape. One of the most notable features of these albums were their "ping-pong stereo," which featured the music jumping from the left speaker to the right, and vice versa. The first of these albums were Persuasive Percussion and Provocative Percussion, and they were wildly popular, charting in the American Top Ten. Light happened to begin the label around the time stereo became widely available, and he exploited the new technology to its fullest, creating albums that used the full sonic spectrum of stereo. After their success, he founded the Command record label, which gave him an outlet for his sonically adventurous records. Light's career bounced back in the late '60s, when the Charleston City All-Stars, under his direction, had a series of hit albums entitled Roaring 20's. During the '40s, he recorded versions of popular hits for budget labels, for sale in discount stores. The band also managed a hit in 1937 with "Summer Night," which was sung by Johnny Muldowney.Īfter The Light Brigade disbanded, Light became a session musician, playing on various records and radio broadcasts, including Hit Parade. The Light Brigade primarily played in theaters and on the radio, although they also toured Europe. Enoch Light was a popular bandleader of the '40s and '50s who is best known for his Persuasive Percussion and Provocative Percussion albums of the mid-'50s, which were some of the first albums to exploit the capabilities of stereo recording and the use of using 35mm film as a recording method instead of tape.ĭuring the '30s, he headed the Enoch Light and the Light Brigade big band. ![]()
