Disques Vogue was ajazz record company founded inFrance by Léon Cabat and Charles Delaunay[1] in 1947, the year after theAmerican Vogue label ceased.
They originally specialized injazz, featuring American performers such asSidney Bechet,Dizzy Gillespie, andGigi Gryce (sessions reissued on CD underClifford Brown's name), in addition to local musiciansDjango Reinhardt andMartial Solal. In the late 1950s Vogue expanded intopop music, recording artists such asPetula Clark. In the 1960s and early 1970s the label addedJacques Dutronc andFrançoise Hardy. They licensed recordings byABBA for release in Belgium and France and European distribution of Recordings ofMonsieur Tranquille.
Vogue Records, a British offshoot, was founded in 1951 and absorbed byEnglish Decca (then separate from the American company) around 1956, but the rights to the name reverted to the French parent in 1962, whereupon Decca renamed its Vogue labelVocalion. A new Disques Vogue sister label was established in Britain as part of thePye Group.[1] The label's catalogue is now part ofSony Music.
