Pop Record Research was founded by Emmy nominated writer-producer
Gary Theroux, who spent 20 years as the Music & Entertainment Editor of Reader’s Digest, strategizing, directing
teams and helping to manage the company’s Home Entertainment Division, which marketed entertainment products in 33 countries.
He personally created, programmed, produced and annotated more than 300 CD/DVD releases which collectively have sold over
39 million copies. Theroux’s background in radio, combined with deep knowledge and understanding of music and pop cultures
of all eras and genres, allows him to create definitive collections in a broad spectrum of styles. A founder of Reader’s
Digest Video, Gary created many of their biggest TV triumphs. He and his team also put together award-winning
series and specials hosted by everyone from Lee Arnold and Kris Erik Stevens to Phil Hendrie and Wink Martindale. The
author of countless articles, liner notes and several books, Theroux is a former format designer/programmer and Director of
Special Features for radio syndicator Drake-Chenault Enterprises. A longtime DJ, actor, narrator, commercial spokesman,
scriptwriter and UCLA instructor, Gary is also a dedicated entertainment historian, a featured speaker with the Institute
for International Film Financing and one of the 25 industry leaders on the Nominating Committee of The Hit Parade Hall of
Fame. He's also just finished a rollicking new Christmas comedy screenplay.

The
POP RECORD RESEARCH archives include nearly one million

As a result, everything from books and magazines to CD compilations or specialized radio and TV programming can

more than 300 single CDs or multi-disc CD box sets for Reader's Digest, Guideposts and others; countless articles, liner notes
and books; radio and TV programming such as "In Touch" (for CBS), "Legends of Comedy" (for Disney)
and "America In The '40s" (for PBS) and both the syndicated Billboard award-winning 52-hour "History of Rock
'n' Roll" and it's 2 1/2 minute daily feature version. If it has to do with the history of entertainment,
give us a call. Our productions have been custom crafted for maximum appeal to fans of not just rock ‘n’ roll but country, pop, jazz, folk, R&B, classical, big bands, blues, rap, hip-hop, soul, comedy, news, sports, TV, Broadway, motion pictures and more. You can reach us at (203) 847-3085. |
