HOW TO OBTAIN A LICENSE.

by Dwight L. Quinn

Songwriters, composers and music publishers generally join one of three Performing Rights Organizations that license their work to the public: the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), and SESAC . The PROs send royalties to the copyright owners.

However, obtaining a license from one PRO doesn't necessarily mean you're in the clear -- you only have a license for that PRO’s copyright holders. For example, the composer of a song may be represented by ASCAP, while the lyricist may be with SESAC. To avoid this problem, some businesses choose to purchase a blanket license from each of the PROs, which allows the licensee to play any of the music from each PRO’s library. Blanket licenses can range from the low hundreds to several thousands of dollars per year.

by Dwight L. Quinn

Virginia's R&B Soul sensations introduced their ninth Single today on the Quinn Records TM label titled,"Let's Go Party". 
The new cut is strictly for the dance-floor party jammers, a soul filled cut that is fit for D.J. Jamming-Club-jumping enjoyment. 

Kevin has long been wanting to do a what he calls a real soul sound. Signed on to the Label in 2004. Kevin has enjoyed experimenting with various musical experiences that has took him from Spiritual to Smooth Jazz and from Hip/hop to Soul. All because of the freedom afforded to
him by the Label. When Kevin,talked about adding to reportorial, some Soul, was at the very heart of his original attention when signing to the Label Kevin called on help of Quinn Records TM label founder Dwight Quinn to match him up with right song that best defined the musical character, of this Virginia Jammer and to get himself  noticed  in the Southern Soul  Market.

MY FAVORITE JUNK FOOD WAS A BOX OF CRACKER JACKS

by Dwight Quinn

I bet you didn't know that when ever you purchase a Quinn Records TM product, we always give the customer something Free, it just comes natural with the Company. The idea came about when I was a boy growing up in East St. Louis. My favorite junk food was a box of Cracker Jacks. What I became to love and appreciate about a box of Cracker jacks, is that it wasn't the fact that it was  a great tasting, lip-smacking snack with its sweet caramel covered popcorn flavor and roasted salted peanuts that blended well with popcorn, it was as I began to realize that with every box of Cracker jacks that you purchased there were always a prize in the box. It was Free, a plastic ring or a spinning top you  name it, it was the prize that excited us. And it soon became apparent that it was the FREE prizes that was drawing us kids to the Cracker Jacks,the prizes was creating the buzz and making for a grand conversation piece, a friend maker and so on. Well I took that Cracker Jacks mentality into the business with me and applied the same strategy here at Quinn Records TM. We appreciate the customer so much that it is always proper for us to give the customer something back. To show our deepest appreciation and thanks for their business.
Quinn Records TM, from July 24th, 2013 until August 24th, 2013  is offering 25% Off List Price Program on all of our Gospel Albums, our customers will not find this offer nowhere else but at Quinn Records TM Online Store. And, if you purchase two or more CD's, we'll give you a FREE Quinn Records TM Signature T-Shirt, a $16.98 value or maybe another CD to go along with the purchase, that's just what we do. After almost forty-two years in business we still get overly excited when customer buy from us. It's the "Cracker Jacks" in us.

And, please do take our "FREE SHIPPING" program seriously when a purchase of $99.99 is ringed up on our P O S Register. We will Ship your order anywhere in the greater U.S.A. FREE. And don't be surprised if you won't find an additional Free gift when your order arrives, we can just see the smile on your face....

I know that being generous to our customers, will make for a grand conversation piece, a friend-maker, a collection item, but most of all, it will be a token of our most deepest and sincere appreciation for doing business with us. Giving back,just comes from our,"Cracker Jack Box" mentality.

HOW I POSITIONED OUR BRAND

by Dwight L. Quinn

I remember when I opened the label several years ago.
 As a team we were working on how we wanted to position the label, looking for the 
emotional benefit that we could offer to our customers. We finally landed on "We'll give you what you want" as our positioning. We never used it as a tagline, but more as a positioning statement for how we would serve up what we offered customers.

Many of our customers were mid-size independent retail record stores, operating in small and large urban cities. The idea of helping them to get the kind of music that they wanted was engaging. 
Our work would get them track able sales results and they would recognized that.The fact that 
we were and still are today a brand promotion label gave our positioning statement double meaning.
Once it caught on, our brand's positioning became the basis for building the brand experience 
across our entire marketing plan. We realized that the key was to make sure that our actual brand experience delivers on what was intended in the positioning.

In the label at the time, we made sure we helped our customers showcase and display our products to get the recognition they needed in order to generate a sale. We make a big deal when one of our customers sale our products by celebrating every successful sale. It became part of our personality and part of the experience of working with us. This came directly out of our positioning statement:"We'll give you what you want."

Take a look at our brand and what we've done for positioning. Notice, 
our tagline is  a big hint:

Quinn Records TM: "Where the sound of blues,gospel, jazz and soul music is made."

Notice the level of emotion in each of our tagline, which essentially highlights our brand's 
positioning. 

Here's how we translate the tagline into our positioning statements:

Quinn Records TM: Makes you feel like you'll get what you asked for.

We digs deep into the emotional benefit that we offer to our customers. We're always thinking  
about how we want our customer to feel about us, every time they think about us. We tried to 
capture that in a brief statement that best describes what we can offer, and keep a list of  options on hand. And throw them out to the team and do a little brainstorming. 
It's makes for a lot of fun,especially when those creative juices start flowing and ideas comes from seemly out of nowhere.

QUINN RECEIVED SOME ENLIGHTENMENT FROM MARSHALL THOMPSON OF THE CHI-LITES

By Dwight L. Quinn

I'm just a bigger fan today as I was in years past of Groups like the Chi-lites out of Chicago, Illinois. I had the pleasure of speaking with Marshall Thompson Saturday by phone in great length. And I was totally delighted with the wisdom and enlightenment that I gained from my conversation with Marshall. He brought me out of that Old School mode and into the understanding of the now a day, what-you-should-know, about the entertainment climate the habits, attitudes and practices that influences the Live Music Market. 

Well it soon became pretty clear that I had been walking around with blinders on, being distracted by the effects, and paying little or no attention to the,cause i.e.(the Market). We both agreed that the Music business has definitely changed and the audience (the Market) that we play to today is just as different as we were (the Market) in the 60's. I can't emphasize enough as to how different that we were. And it's that different that causes,change, how they buy, how they listen to music, how they move it around, what's acceptable today as opposed to what 
was and wasn't acceptable yesteryear is 360 degrees different. But the fundamental foundation of the Business are still intact.
Marshall Thompson new Album, Hot On A Thing is riding on the waves of the today's sound but like a pro, Marshall carefully applied this legendary Groups signature-sound-style that is a legacy of the Chi-Lites. 
For those of you, who haven't had the pleasure of hearing, Marshall's new Album, Hot On A Thing. I highly recommend you to click this link and Listen, 


Just fourteen and half more weeks will mark a very special milestone at Quinn Records TM. It will be 42 years ago that I recorded and released my first album, by a local r&b group from St. Louis called The Amazing Dramas.

Roy Page & The Spiritual Ares, Leroy Crisp & The Orig. Southern Harmonizers, Carlina Q. Aldridge, James Gilbert all were recorded by Dwight L. Quinn. 
Adding to this musical legacy. Quinn has released over 633 songs, over 50  jazz, 150 gospel and 110 r&b,soul,hip-hop,owned D.L. Quinn Music Publishing and Boogie City Music Group in St. Louis.
