Horizon Records was based in A&M's New York offices. On October 31, 1975, the first five Horizon albums were released and were supported with a marketing campaign. The Dave Brubeck and Paul Desmond album "The Duets" was Horizon's first Top 200 album on the Billboard Pop Album Chart. Horizon would not chart again for three years.
In October 1976, Gil Friesen confirmed that A&M had not made a decision on whether to keep or drop Horizon.

Karma
Celebration
@ 1976  US Pressing
****
Karma members were not only among the unsung heroes of 1970s soul and funk; they were also capable of playing solid jazz-fusion. With such talent on board as saxman Ernie Watts, trumpeter Oscar Brashear, and trombonist George Bohanon, the L.A.-based outfit should have hit it big with Celebration, their first of two albums. But the LP, which was recorded in 1974 and 1976, failed to take off commercially. That may stem from the fact that while Celebration is a fine album, it lacked the powerhouse single necessary for the band to grab the attention of soul radio. Essentially, this is a collection of great album tracks, which range from the Earth, Wind & Fire-inflected funk song “Karma” to the bluesy “Well” and the uplifting Brazilian jazz-pop number “Kwanzaa.” Karma’s members really put their jazz chops to work on the 20-minute “Suite Syreeta,” which gives the horn players plenty of room to stretch out. Regrettably, Celebration and its successor, For Everybody, have long been out of print, and it’s unlikely that they’ll ever be reissued on CD. So, if you come across either LP somewhere, grab it immediately.

The Carl Brashear Foundation uses Carl’s story to inspire people never to give up. Carl was born into a poor farming community and overcame racism, a lack of education and, following an accident while on active duty, disability to achieve his ambitions. His story was made into the movie Men of Honor, starring the Oscar-winning actors Cuba Gooding Jr. and Robert De Niro. Funds raised by sales of Oris Carl Brashear watches have supported countless veterans and vulnerable people, giving them hope and helping them achieve their goals. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKOtZ8xLI1Y/?igshid=v1hb6e424ic1

Thoughts on Oscar Isaac as Reed? I mean he's a little on the shorter side to be playing Reed, but he can pull off grey well. What's your F4 fancast atm?
I do like Oscar Isaac as Reed! Of all the Reed fancasts I’ve seen, I think I like him best. I think he’d do a great job at nailing Reed’s wild, fun, adventurous side, his determination, his idealism, but honestly…I think I’d prefer it if all of the actors chosen for the new film were relative unknowns, the way Evans and Hemsworth and Hiddleston were, which worked out very well. 
It’s very important to me, though, that at least SOME of the key members of the FF be cast as POCs, especially after the backlash to MBJ’s Johnny. I’d like, for once, to see BOTH Storm siblings be POCs (I want them to be Latinxs, because there are literally no Latinx-as-Latinx superheroes in the MCU films (and it’s a nice homage to Jessica Alba)), and I’d love it if Reed were black (as he is in the Spider-Gwen Universe), because negative, racist stereotypes about black people so frequently impugn their intellect, and the smartest man in all of Marvel being a black man would help to address that. (Also, T’Challa/Reed team-ups would be A++ (they are very close friends in the comics – T’Challa is actually a Fantastic Four character and has subbed in for Reed on the FF before) and if Lunella and/or Adam Brashear ever show up....) And, of course, Ben is Jewish and needs to stay that way, and Doom is Romani, and also needs to stay that way.
But beyond that I don’t have any specific actors in mind.

In his eclectic career, Cuba Gooding Jr. has racked up awards, accolades, anecdotes – and an enviable collection of timepieces. He made “Show me the money” a national catch-phrase with his Oscar-winning turn in Jerry Maguire, and inhabited real-life roles as diverse as U.S. Navy Master Diver Carl Brashear and football hero turned murder suspect O.J. Simpson.
Checkout out great selection @ buzzufy.com
