	Mike Curb - Biography - AOL Music
		When Curb took over MGM Records at the end of the 1960s, while he was in his mid-twenties, he began a very public "clean up" of the label by dropping all of the supposed "drug-oriented" acts from the label's roster.
		Curb also created and began recording a singing group of his own, the Mike Curb Congregation, sort of a late-'60s variant on the kind of vocal ensembles epitomized in an earlier time by the Ray Conniff Singers.
		None of Curb's signings lasted too long at the top of the charts, however, and by the mid-'70s, MGM was nearly as inactive as the studio that spawned it (which was generating just a handful of movies a year, few of them even slightly distinguished).

		Mervyn Dymally, although never having seen the film, publicly charged that Curb had done the music for a "pornographic" film and "sung in falsetto in a bath tub scene with two lesbians."
