but the debt resulted in a substantial decline in the number of new releases. Arista Records took over distribution of Buddah from 1978 to 1983, with several artists, including Norman Connors and Phyllis Hyman, switching to Arista. Buddah's final release of new product came in mid-1983, with Michael Henderson's R&B hit "Fickle" and the accompanying album of the same name. Kama Sutra's final issue came a year later, with the Fat Boys (formerly the Disco 3)'s self-titled single. Art Kass subsequently sold the label to Essex Entertainment, who managed the Buddah catalog until 1993, when they sold it to BMG. Kass formed another label, Casino Records, in partnership with former New York Dolls manager Marty Thau and concert promoter Terrell Braly, but this venture was not successful. Buddah, now known as Buddha Records, was re-activated by BMG in September 1998 as a reissue label, which was subsequently reorganized as BMG Heritage Records on January 1, 2002. The Buddah/Buddha catalogue is now owned by Sony Music Entertainment and managed by Legacy Recordings. Subsidiary and affiliated labels Buddah distributed many labels during its history, including the following: the wholly owned subsidiary Kama Sutra Records, from 1969 (when Kama Sutra's distribution deal with MGM Records expired) to 1976. Curtom Records, founded and owned by Curtis Mayfield, (1968–1974) Sussex Records, (1971–1973) T-Neck Records, owned by the Isley Brothers, (1969–1973) Charisma Records, the U.K.-based label founded by Tony Stratton-Smith, distributed 1971–1973. Buddah adopted the Gill Ultra Bold font Charisma used on their "Mad Hatter" label to create a uniform branding for its key labels (Buddah, Kama Sutra, Charisma) in 1973, although Charisma's distribution deal with Buddah ended later that year. Hot Wax Records, owned by Motown songwriting trio Holland-Dozier-Holland, 1969–1973. Cobblestone Records, a jazz label. Pavilion Records, a short-lived gospel music imprint best known for its release of "Oh Happy Day" by The Edwin Hawkins Singers in 1969. Studio One Records, the Jamaican label founded by Coxsone Dodd. Buddah released various selections from Studio One's back catalog in 1978. Other Buddah subsidiaries or associated labels included Radio Active Gold (for reissue singles), Team, Super K, Royal American, Symbolic, Eleuthera, Ember, Pace, Desert Moon, Pi Kappa, Southwind, April, Thomas, Harbour, Music Merchant, National General, and Brut.
