Its roster included [[Another Bad Creation]], [[Boyz II Men]], and [[702 (band)|702]]. * Chisa Records: Motown released output for Chisa, a label owned by [[Hugh Masekela]], from 1969 to 1972 (prior to that, the label was distributed by Vault Records). * [[CTI Records]]: Motown distributed output for CTI Records, a jazz label owned by [[Creed Taylor]], from 1974 to 1975.
