Throughout the 60s, Carnival had hits with The Manhattans, reinvesting the profits in local acts with the occasional licensed-in production. The label's sound developed from doo wop and R&B to mainstream soul and eventually the softer harmonies of The Pretenders.The Pretenders were the label's main preoccupation in the 1970s, even cutting a handful of disco sides for Carnival. The label's catalogue range, though, remained wide including, in addition to the softer soul of such groups as The Three Reasons, southern soul from Little Royal and Jimmy Jules and the blues of Curly Mays (whose "Oh Why" is today the rarest, most sought after Carnival 45). In 1982, after five years inactivity, Carnival recorded "Love Don't Come Easy" by The New Jersey Connection. The last release from the label, it showed that the magic had not died. It became a big UK club hit and is still played to this day in modern clubs.
