Produced by Frank Marshall and directed by Ryan Suffern, this two-part documentary series takes an in-depth look at the company’s distinct approach of focusing on their artists, discovering unique talent and evolving with the ever-changing music industry.
With a wealth of rare archival footage and audio-only interviews, “Mr. A & Mr. M: The Story of A&M Records” will be an immersive experience told by the visionaries who lived it. Featuring the music of The Police, The Carpenters, Joe Cocker, Carole King, and The Go-Go’s among others, and interviews with Peter Frampton, Quincy Jones, Sheryl Crow, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, and more.
“With firsthand artist accounts, and rarely-seen footage from the archives, ‘Mr. A & Mr. M: The Story of A&M Records’ is a definitive history of an iconic institution. We’re thrilled to be teaming up with Kennedy/Marshall and Polygram to reveal the stories behind one of the most legendary music labels of all time,” said Michael Wright, president of EPIX, in a statement.
Producer Frank Marshall added, “In the same way we approached our Laurel Canyon docuseries for EPIX, ‘Mr. A & Mr. M: The Story of A&M Records’ will be an immersive experience that celebrates the time and place, and above all, the amazing artists and music that Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss cared for and developed at A&M Records.”
“The breadth of artists that A&M introduced to the world is wide and eclectic – reflective of a label founded by an artist and music lover – and has had a lasting impact on music today. Polygram looks forward to collaborating with Kennedy/Marshall and EPIX to tell A&M’s incredible story,” said David Blackman, head of film and TV production and development at UMG.
