I can add this to the discussion: Back in the mid 80's, I was good friends with a pretty well known DJ in the Buffalo area. He knew I was a big Nona Hendryx fan and he gave me a promo copy of one of her records that came out at the time. I complained to him that nobody played her music and I didn't understand why. My DJ friend explained to me that RCA records only really serviced Hall and Oates--it was as if the other artists just didn't exist. He called the company RCA Victim because if you weren't Hall and Oates, you weren't going anywhere, basically.
