A&M Records 50th Anniversary: Yusuf, Sting and Peter Frampton Discuss Label Memories -- Exclusive Videos

Musician Herb Albert and music lover Jerry Moss are in the "A" and "M" behind A&M Records. The label, which is now part of Universal, has kickstarted the careers of so many groundbreaking artists.

Now, for the label's 50th anniversary, some of A&M's most notable musicians have sat down to talk about their favorite memories.

Sting remembers A&M fondly, as he and the Police signed with them back in the late '70s. He appreciated the "grown-up" relationship the band had with the label, which led to several years of successful endeavors.
