* Music/{{Foreigner}}

By 1967, Wexler became concerned with how other independent labels were starting to fold despite Atlantic and Stax’s success. Thus he convinced enough investors to sell Atlantic to Creator/WarnerBros-Seven Arts (as the company was then known) for $17.5 million. The deal would result in the end of the distribution deal with Stax in 1968, though Warner still maintains rights over records recorded during Stax’s time with Atlantic. This also marked the period when the label started to put more emphasis on rock artists, many of whom would reach significant commercial success. Many of these were British performers; some of them were licensed from British labels for the US and Canada only[[note]]including Music/{{Genesis|Band}} (plus Music/PeterGabriel's early solo material and all of Music/PhilCollins' solo material), Music/KingCrimson, Music/MottTheHoople, Music/DustySpringfield, and Music/EmersonLakeAndPalmer[[/note]], while others were signed to Atlantic worldwide (Music/LedZeppelin, Music/{{Yes}}, Music/{{Foreigner}|Band}). Atlantic's subsidiary Creator/AtcoRecords additionally became increasingly prominent during TheSixties; see their entry for more details.
