Langlois & Wentworth, Inc.
Langlois & Wentworth, Inc., was an American company that, through its Lang-Worth subsidiary, recorded radio shows for broadcast. The company was founded in 1933 by Cyril Ouelette Langlois, Sr. (1893–1957), and Ralph Clarke Wentworth (1891–1954) and was based in New York City. Transcription discs were sold on a subscription basis and, at the time, none were sold to the public. Like other transcriptions companies, the company tried to move away from using music that required its subscribing radio stations to pay additional fees to copyright holders, and began to use music in the public domain. By 1935, the company had completely eliminated the use of copyrighted music, although the policy was later relaxed. In the 1940s, the music service library was divided into two groups: The "5000" service with white labels reserved for ASCAP music, and yellow labels, reserved for non-ASCAP licensed music, which included BMI, SESAC, public domain music, and others.〔''(Fats Waller on the Air: The Radio Broadcasts and Discography, )'' by Stephen Taylor, Scarecrow Press, pps. 88–89 (2006) 〕
== Lang–Worth Feature Programs, Inc. ==
In 1935, Langlois & Wentworth founded a new division called Lang–Worth Feature Programs, Inc., a radio transcription service that was completely copyright-free, except the copyrighting of its own work. Most of the music was in the public domain, but some was purchased, at great expense. The "C.S." on its labels indicated that the music was "cleared at source by Lang-Worth." The company purported to have the largest collection of public domain music in the world and, for its subscribers, offered a library of over 300 selections with a guarantee of 120 new selections every month.〔
The service filled the gap during the musicians' strike against the major record companies between 1942 and 1944, although Lang-Worth continued to do business for a number of years after WWII. The company was headquartered in New York at Steinway Hall and had a printing plant at 55-20 Grand Avenue, Maspeth, Queens, New York.〔''(Flames Damage Printing Plant, )'' ''Long Island Star Journal,'' October 20, 1951, pg. 5, col 1 (bottom)〕
Lang-Worth artists included the Mills Brothers, Count Basie, Woody Herman, Elton Britt, Henry Jerome, and Patti Page.
