Famous Music is the worldwide music publishing division of Paramount Pictures. Its copyright holdings span several decades and includes music from such Academy Award-winning motion pictures as The Godfather and Forrest Gump. It was founded in 1928 by Paramount’s predecessor, the Famous-Lasky Corporation, to publish music from its "talking pictures."
Famous Music also provides licensing and administration services for many prominent music catalog owners such as The Clyde Otis Music Catalogs, as well as for other Viacom divisions including MTV, Nickelodeon and BET.
For a number of years, Famous Music also had a record label group division before it was sold to ABC Records in 1974, they are now owned by Universal Music Group.
