Verve Records, also known as Verve, is a multinational record label that was founded in 1956 by jazz impresario Norman Granz. The label originated from the consolidation of Granz's earlier labels, Norgran Records and Clef Records. In 1960, Verve was sold to MGM Records and became a subsidiary of the company. Throughout the 1960s, Verve expanded its music genres to include comedy, pop, R&B, rock, and folk music.

During this time, Verve had successful jazz recordings from artists such as Stan Getz, Kai Winding, Astrud Gilberto, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jimmy Smith under the direction of Creed Taylor. In 1972, MGM sold its record division to Polydor which brought Verve into the newly formed PolyGram family of record labels. As a result of this transition, Verve focused primarily on jazz reissues while other non-jazz releases were absorbed into Polydor.

In the late 1980s, PolyGram decided to revive Verve with both reissue programs and new artist signings. This revitalization led to strong sales for both new material and remastered classic recordings. With the merger of PolyGram and Vivendi Universal in 1999 creating Universal Music Group (UMG), Verve Records became part of The Verve Music Group alongside other influential labels such as Blue Note Records and Impulse! Records.

Over 3 decades ago, Peter One was a country music star, in West Africa. With his singing partner Jess Sah Bi, Peter played to sold out arenas across Africa and frequented TV and radio shows. In 1985, Jess Sah Bi and Peter One’s debut album, Our Garden Needs Its Flowers, launched the two Ivory Coast musicians into regional stardom across greater West Africa. Peter ultimately decided to emigrate to the US to further his music career but suffered a bit of a setback. Shocked by the American cost of living Peter decided to pursue a career in nursing.

Music was never far from Peters mind, and he continued to write and play guitar. Luck struck when a student studying ethnomusicology discovered Our Garden Needs Its Flowers. The album was reissued in 2018 and led to rediscovery of Peter One and his music. He signed a deal with Verve Records’ Forecast imprint to release all new music. Come Back To Me features songs in English, French and Peters native African language.
