For the Friday IMPELmusic member profile, we turn the spotlight on our esteemed member ABKCO LEGS Music.
Jody H Klein is owner and CEO of ABKCO LEGS Music, Inc., ABKCO Music, Inc. and ABKCO Music & Records, Inc, the seminal music publishing companies and record labels for an incredibly diverse catalogue including the compositions and corresponding master recordings by Sam Cooke, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, Ray and Dave Davies (The Kinks), Bobby Womack (“I Wish You Didn’t Trust Me So Much”) and Norman Luboff (“Yellow Bird”).
During his last several years as CEO of ABKCO it has become a major influence in the copyright discussion with Klein’s instigation of legal initiatives providing strong supporting evidence to the Copyright Office and DOJ on behalf of independent music publishers. He also produced the Oscar-nominated film One Night In Miami..., which features music by Sam Cooke, as well as the Golden Globe and Oscar-nominated original song “Speak Now” (written by Sam Ashworth and Leslie Odom Jr).
Prior to his appointment in 2006, Klein was Managing Director of ABKCO’s twelve worldwide wholly owned publishing subsidiaries. He was instrumental in the implementation of technological advances in re-mastering and re-introducing ABKCO’s corresponding master recordings to new generations of fans; these recordings in turn have lent a new lease of life to the marketability of the compositions. Under Klein’s leadership, ABKCO has become one of the largest revenue generating, family owned, privately held, independent music publishers and record companies in the world.
Jody Klein has been a board member of the NMPA since 2015 and in 2018 became a founding member and director of IMPEL Collective Management Ltd. He also serves on the Board of The Songwriters Hall Of Fame, and is a member of the Producers Guild of America.
