Famous Music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Famous Music is a music publisher in the United States. It supplies music to a diversified range of global media. Its vast index of copyrights spans several decades and includes music from such Academy Award-winning motion pictures as The Godfather and Forrest Gump.
It was founded in 1928 by Paramount Pictures’ predecessor, the Famous-Lasky Corporation, to publish music from its "talking pictures." It is the worldwide music publishing division of Paramount Pictures and also provides licensing and administration services for many prominent music catalog owners such as The Clyde Otis Music Catalogs, MTV, Nickelodeon and BET.
In 2005 Famous entered the music production library business by purchasing the highly successful London-based Extreme Music production unit.
