 SOLAR Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After the success of a few singles on the Soul Train imprint, Griffey and Cornelius decided (amicably) to shut it down as Cornelius wanted to focus his energies on the TV show, which was a monster hit and required his full attention to keep it so.
Legalities taken care of, Soul Train Records folded and Griffey reorganized the company to found the SOLAR label in late 1977, which quickly became one of the most important Disco, RandB, and Dance music imprints of the late 1970s and 1980s.
Griffey and Cornelius remained good friends, and as a result, SOLAR maintained close ties to the Soul Train show.

That's Don Cornelius' belief--and that's why he has a beef with MTV and its corporate parent, Viacom.
Cornelius is accusing the music network of pressuring performers who appear on MTV shows not to perform on rival shows for a 30-day period.
Cornelius' letter reportedly calls MTV's booking policies "flagrantly anti-competitive"--if an artist flouts their rules the video cable channel can in effect not play "for any period MTV should prescribe" the performer's videos on "either MTV, VH1 or BET, all of which are wholly owned Viacom properties."
